Many home educators design their own curriculum. Some design them completely on their own, others use published "scope and sequence" plans such as the one available from World Book Encyclopedia. Homeschooling can be done on a shoestring using this method and the public library!

Unschooling

Unschooling is the most relaxed of all styles of homeschooling. Unschoolers surround their children with a rich educational environment and let them lead their own schooling. The parent is not thought of as the teacher, but as the advisor, only intervening when asked by the child.
