How to Start Homeschooling with Ambleside Online
Homeschooling often begins with a big question: Where do I even start? For many families, the answer is Ambleside Online (often called AO). If you’ve heard about AO but feel unsure about how to take those first steps, this guide will walk you through the process we used. I’ll share what Ambleside Online is, why families love it, and how you can make it work in your own home.
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."
