In this video I’m talking through my long-term homeschool planning for next year—specifically what I’m thinking for group subjects. I walk you through my process (the messy, real-life version), how I look at what worked this year, and what actually matters most to our homeschool before I start chasing shiny curriculum. For us, I’m always weighing things like family rhythms, what my kids need right now, and what I can realistically sustain—because the “best” curriculum on paper isn’t helpful if it doesn’t fit our days. I also chat through several curriculum options I’m considering for our next year, including whether Ambleside Online makes sense for us and how I think about using a CM-style approach in a way that feels doable. I break down potential picks for history, science, and electives, and I share why certain programs keep coming up on my list (and what questions I still need to answer before I commit). If you’re trying to map out next year without locking yourself into something too early, this is basically me planning out loud—so you can take what helps and leave what doesn’t.
