Homeschooling
in the Pagosa Springs Area
Outside of
the traditional campus-based education systems, a group of students,
taught by their parents, are part of a growing movement called
homeschooling. There are a variety of settings, families, values,
goals and available curriculum in homeschooling. Some families
adhere to the schedule of local public schools; some have schedules
based on chores, jobs and other variables.
An estimated 50 families homeschool in Pagosa Country. Many belong
to the Pagosa Area Christian Educators, allowing them to participate
in field trips, Friday School programs and at-home lessons. Many
homeschoolers are encouraged to socialize with children outside
of their own age groups, which challenges students to serve as
role models for younger students.
As the homeschooling trend grows throughout the nation, some people
who were homeschooled, now adults, are starting a second generation
of learning at home.
