What to expect from BBHS

Castle Island buried treasure, a carved granite corinthian capital, worn down by sand and sea, placed with other granite fill at an unknown time in the past.

Treasures if you know where to look

This blog will share with you everything useful that I can find to help you have a full homeschooling experience while surviving here in Boston and Greater Boston.

  • Low-cost events, both homeschooling and general educational and community events
  • Homeschool specific resources found in Greater Boston
  • A way to connect with other Broke Homeschoolers
  • Encouragement and Validation
  • My experience which you may be able to take as good advice, inspiration, or as a cautionary tale!

What’s all this, then?

Why Broke Boston Homeschooling?

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

Do you ever read optimistic homeschooling advice that tells you to go out and join groups, meet other homeschoolers at park days and homeschool events at local institutions? Do you find that those events and park days are often out of reach because of distance from public transportation, or the cost?

Do you hear about other people belonging to homeschool coops but you can’t find one you can afford, and/or get to?

Do you read advice that reassures you’ll find your tribe? Are you a second choice homeschooler and your reasons for homeschooling don’t fit with typical “tribes?”

When you talk with local homeschoolers, do you ever feel like the others just don’t understand your challenges or what it means to live in Greater Boston with relatively limited resources?

If you identify with a lot of this, then stick around, this blog is for you and me!
