Keep Calm and Homeschool On
Options are endless when it comes to homeschooling, which is both a blessing and a curse. Allowing yourself a little grace is no small feat, but key when beginning the process and facing the unknown. Everyone starts out with a slight twitch in their eye, and the feeling of impending doom when they start homeschooling, and, in our current reality, many families are having to scrap their models of learning and restructure everything they know. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone! This is the time to test things out and have fun learning what works best for yourself and your family.
Don’t know where to start?
Have no fear, Nashville Public Library has got you covered! We have an abundance of resources for those families just starting out, as well as for families well-versed on the ins and outs of homeschooling. Our diverse collection contains a satisfying medley of electronic and physical materials, so we can accommodate multiple learning styles. Additionally, we have services to satisfy all kinds of needs.

Still have questions?
Perfect! Bring them to our Homeschool Forum on Wednesday, September 9th at 2 PM.
