We are a Waldorf inspired homeschooling family.  My name is Debra and my husbands name is Mick.  We have two children Trevor is nine and Christopher is six.  We live in a semi rural community on the outskirts of the Perth Metropolitan area.

My husband and I knew our children would always be schooled using  Waldorf education  whether at a school for at home. 

I began looking into a Waldorf homeschooling about five years ago. I obtained as many resources and read as many web sites as I could find.  I decided (after about two years of reading) that it was possible to homeschool using the Waldorf method.  There began my journey to decide what curriculum and resources to use.  I felt having a curriculum would free me up on deciding what to teach and allow me to devote my time to how to present the ideas.  I decided I liked sections from different sources so I use those for my basics and add or change to suit my situation.  I find they give me great suggestions for what can be done but ultimately it comes down to me as to how we go about it.

We have been homeschooling for about three  years now and each main lesson I give seems to be getting easier to do.  I am not so concerned now about doing the right thing according to others and I am better able to judge when my children are ready for things.

I have found homeschooling to be demanding but very rewarding.  Homeschooling has allowed me to grow and develop as a person as well.  It teaches you to have patience (most of the time) and trust in yourself and to follow through with what you believe is right.

I hope through this website we will be able to form contacts, as I really believe it is important to support one another on this very special journey.
