Why We Switched to Ambleside Online Homeschool Curriculum…And How It’s Going

Homeschooling is a journey that rarely follows a straight path. Like many families, we began with one curriculum, shifted to another…and another…and another…and found ourselves making adjustments all along the way. Every stage taught us something valuable, but nothing has felt quite like home the way Ambleside Online has.

If you’re wondering whether Ambleside Online (often called AO) might be right for your family—or you’re just curious about what life looks like inside a Charlotte Mason–inspired homeschool—let me share our story: why we switched, what it was like in those early weeks, and how it’s going now."
