We are planning to sail away for a year or two with our seven year old and would love to take oak meadow on the road with us.
Andrea G
Age 6. I have heard many good things about Oak Meadow. I like Oak Meadows hands on learning. I looked at the first grade package and liked the concepts to be taught for the year. Including calender cycle, letters, numbers, fairy tales and so on.
Andrea G
Both liked on FB.

9 year old – I think she’d like the hands-on activities. I’d like the slower approach to learning than is often found elsewhere. (Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!)

My children are 12, 8, and 5. We have been homeschooling all of the children, basically since birth. Having just come through a rough couple of years of sojourning and using a very rigid fundamentalist curriculum we have decided to make the transition to the much more gentle, creative, and flexible Oak Meadow curriculum. Having explored the samples and talked to families using Oak Meadow, we really feel that this will meet all of the children’s learning needs and styles, and allow them to walk the world in wonder again 😀

My kids are 2, 5 and 9

sarah
My daughter is 7 and going into 2nd grade. We pulled her out of public school mid year last year as it was not a good fit at all. She has numerous vision issues requiring vision therapy, Tourette’s syndrome, ADHD, anxiety and is gifted. She tells me almost daily how much happier and less stressed she is at home. She was having panic attacks almost daily at her previous school. Waldorf consistently comes up in my research for a scientific approach to special needs. She is a very creative girl and so far what I’ve learned of waldorf and incorporated into our lives has fit very well. We have been saving up for OM2 and winning this would free up a lot of funds for other homeschool supplies and adventures! I also have a 4 year old who I think Oak Meadow will fit well in the future! I have already liked both the Facebook pages! 🙂

My twins are 6 and I love that the curriculum is nature based.
Cheryl O'MARA
My sons are 12 and 15. I love the fact that OM is flexible and it challenges your kids to think about the content they just read about. There is no read and fill in blanks and I love that! I also love that there are many options for the student to express their knowledge about the subject!
Cheryl O'MARA

AnnaLouise Hoskam
My children are 3 and 5 years old and adore stories, natural learning and exploring. Oak Meadow just makes sense to us all. Emphasizing reading, rituals, creative skills and organic learning is what we have been looking for. I’ve basically unschooled my children (at such a young age! What’s wrong with the world!!!??!!) and have found my children. Two individuals who love to explore, love, learn and be themselves. From what I can see Oak Meadows supports us all in this journey and even if I don’t win the curriculum, I’m going to tell all how awesome it is and ordering it anyhow!
Thank you all for making me realise I’m not alone and crazy because I want my children to be loved, happy and healthy and not part of a corporate factory scheme.
Much love and keep up the good work! I am about to hit like on both of the above (or below?) mentioned fb pages to increase my chances of winning and sharing the awesomeness.

Sherice Parrott
I believe my daughter (6) and son (3) would thrive using OM because it allows for creativity, imagination and flexibility in our daily lives. My husband and I have struggled with the idea of using a curriculum and lean more towards the unschooling philosophy and feel this could be a good gentle option to begin with in the early years. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

With four kids (12, 10, 4, & 2) , I think Oak Meadow would be a great pace for our family. We always need more peace in our lives, and it seems like OM really values that.
Azsa Greiner
I have 2 kids, 3 & 5, and we have talked about homeschooling since they were born. I work and farm, my husband is home with the kids. They are always asking such big questions and we answer them. I am worried they won’t get full answers at school because they are “too young.” My kids are already very in tune with life and death because of the farm. They help on butchering days! We also want to travel with them, and that is a better teaching time then any school day.
Thank you for this opportunity!

I have OM kindergarten and am getting ready to start with my 4 and 5 year old kids. What I love most about it is they focus not on training a child in a certain way, but in assisting them to unfold their true selves. We don’t make them become someone we want them to be, but we help them become who they already are.

Liked you on Facebook! I am due with baby #4, although I am a little nervous about homeschooling this year, I feel such a passion for it, I am determined to see it through. Oak meadow is completely in line with what I want my home to look like. I believe it would help show my children the many ways to learn in life & help develop a love & joy for learning! Most impotantly, not just being “school” but building relationship between all of us & helping us use schools times as quality time!
Amanda McCullough

Pretty positive both my kids would love oak meadow! When starting my homeschooling I wanted to do the waldorf approach but didn’t no where to start, then got sold into a structure very black and white curriculum…which isn’t working well for my dreamer and free spirited children. I pray I can switch it up with oak meadow!!

My kids are 8 and 10 years old. I love how much focus OM places on art, literature, and hands-on activities. It was the very first curriculum I looked into when starting my homeschooling journey but the price made it out of our reach. We would love the opportunity to try OM!
Sarah Steele
My children are 3, 7, 9, 11, 11, 11, 16. Oak Meadow seems to use a gentle approach to learning which I feel some of my children would greatly benefit from.
Marianne
My son is almost 7 and my daughter is 9 1/2. This will be our first full school year homeschooling after having taken the kids out of public school this past winter. I’ve been struggling to find ways to reignite my children’s confidence and love of learning after trauma they experienced in public school last year, but one thing they both truly enjoy is the natural world which is why I think they might find their sparks again if we tried Oak Meadow.
Jennifer
Have liked OM and SH on FB!
Amanda C
I homeschool our 5 & 7 year olds. I would love a chance to try OM as I have admired their curriculum for quite awhile but haven’t taken the plunge yet since it is quite different from our current approach. But with that said, I have been hoping to get to a more simple, child-focused rhythm in our home and OM just might be that first step.
Nicole Ferraro
My son is 8 years old…we just started homeschooling in January and just recently found a Waldorf based Co-op and would love the curriculum to support what he does these 2 days a week…also to help me understand the Waldorf philosophy and method of teaching…

My son is 8-beginning the third grade. I love thus curriculum because it is eclectic and can be designed to fit the needs of each child.
Haidee DeLuca
My son is 3. I love the gentle, flexible nature of the OM products.
Patricia Holmes
We will be starting kindergarten oak meadow this year! I have an almost 5 year old, and a 3 year old. I love all the learning through nature, and I know my kids will too. We’ve already changed our bedtime routine after reading the intro in the curriculum and we are loving every bit of it. This is exactly what we’ve needed. There’s more connection and less stress. Thanks oak meadow!
Stacie
I like that this is nature based and flexible. My kids are 6 and 14. My son is seriously in the need for something different so he starts enjoying school work.

Naomi
My daughter is almost 4, and as we begin thinking about schooling as Australians living in Northern thailand, Oak Meadow Homeschooling is looking like THE option. With focus on creativity, nature and the arts, it fits in perfectly with our philosophy.

Gloria
Our kids are almost 7, 5, and 2. My older two are so different in their giftings and learning styles…it is attractive to me to have something flexible enough to use for both of them effectively. Nature based is also appealing. I don’t want my kids (or myself) to hate school and learning. Believe me I have had curriculum that has almost ruined my oldest’s love of learning and stifled his creativity and curiosity.
Christy Moline
My girls are 4 and 1. I love Oak Meadow and can’t wait to use their curriculum. We love that it’s a complete curriculum that covers all subjects. I also appreciate the integration of art, music, nature, etc to keep children connected to more natural, hands on ways of learning. Thanks for this opportunity!

I think OM’s approach will provide a lot of opportunities for both of my kids to learn together, despite their difference in age. Also, who wouldn’t want a curriculum that incorporates Little House books?!

I think my oldest would love the gentle approach (3rd grade) and the books and crafts. But it sounds like it would be fun for my artsy K level girls as well! It would be hard to choose!

Our children are 8, 3 and 2. I think our family would enjoy the focus upon nature from the oak meadow curriculum as we live in a concrete jungle and it is sometimes difficult to be able to spot God’s handy work. And yet it is the beauty of his creation that brings light and hope to our days that can often be hard whilst living and working in a culture so different from our own.

Hello,

My kids are 10, no 11 today, Happy Birthday Baby, 6 and 1. We would love to try the gentle approach hoping to relieve the stress of separate curriculums.

I have 5 children between the ages of 3 and 14. We enjoy relaxed child led learning. I have looked into Oak Meadow previously and would love the opportunity to try it for free. I feel it would be a great fit for our family !!
Julia
All boys, ages 7, 5 and 2. Love the focus on daily rhythm and nature.
Nicole Simpson
3 and 5…we would love the storytelling!
Sherri
6,8,13 yr old girls I love the nature aspect and the stories. I would live to try it with our family. We have always inspired the love of nature with each of our girls. I think it would be a perfect match.

My school ready eager learners are 4 and 6. We are just starting to homeschool this year. Thank you for this opportunity! 🙂
Cheryl
I love being able to adapt one grade to teach both my children. They enjoy the hands on projects!
Paula
My son is 5 years old and will be in Kinder this year. Last year was very rough on him and I, because we found out that he is autistic. His first year of school wasn’t very good to him before I had him diagnosed. Lots of changes for his learning journey started last year. I’m choosing Oak Meadow because it takes learning a whole new level, sort-of outside of the box and I believe it will help my son grow in learning and understanding about life with hands on learning. This would be a great gift for my son. 🙂
Jena B.
My sweet little 4 year old is constantly curios at everything around her. I’d be thrilled to win an Oak Meadow curriculum to help foster her curiosity even more!
Marina
My boys are 4 and 8, another boy on the way!
We’re starting with 1st this September! Yay! I think they’ll like that it’s not just sit and learn, they love to hear stories (can’t get enough!), they love art projects,….so far, I think we’ll have a fun year learning! Thank you for the chance!

Shelli Wiebersch
My children are 8 & 11, and I think we would most enjoy the flexibility. I perused through some sample lessons on your website and found several instances in which it gives the student multiple options to continue the learning of a particular topic by watching something, reading something, listening to something, building something, drawing something, or exploring for that something outdoors. I LOVE that! As will my children 🙂
Lindsey
My kids are 7, 10, and 13. We would love to try Oak Meadows! From looking at the samples I love how thought provoking and deep the questions and projects are. They really call for a lot more critical thinking then pretty much any other curriculum I have seen.
Mandy
My children are 7, 4 and 16 months. I think we would enjoy the mind, heart and hands whole child approach of Oak Meadow, and I think the help with approaching art would be particularly helpful for me as I’m not very artistically gifted myself.
Amy Butler

I have 3 kiddos, 10, 4, and almost 2. We started oak meadow over the summer and I love it! It is very similar to a school that I went to that made the best impression on me! I would love to win the next year of books that I need, or any of their craft stuff.
Jaimie
I have a 6th grader who would really enjoy this curriculum! She is an art and nature lover and the gentle approach of OM would ease her into the higher-order thinking/reasoning skills needed in junior high and high school.

My kids are 8, 7, 5 and 3. We have always compiled our own curriculum and it would be nice to try Oak Meadows for my 7 year old (in particular) that seems to be more of a creative, abstract learner. We have had a challenge finding what works for her and I think this may be a solution.
Mike
i have a 5 and a 6 yr old and they would love to grow with this approach as they jump into homeschooling together. They love crafting and self guided learning.

Nancy
My daughter is 6. She adores stories! I have no doubts that the imaginative spirit of the Oak Meadow curriculum will help her learn new concepts in a very enjoyable way (as oppose to my unappealing intellectual approach). In addition to all the positive feedback I have heard from people using the Oak Meadow curriculum, I have read the sample lessons and love them!

My kids are 3 and 5 we will start our homeschool journey with Oak Meadow this year. I love Oak Meadows approach and can’t wait to start Kindergarden with my son. We were looking for a program that starts gentle and gives kids a good foundation to build apon while invoking creative think and we found it all with Oak Meadow. Would love to win our curriculum for next year.
I’ve like the Oak Meadow page and Simple Homeschool pages for some time now and love all the great posts from both. Both pages have really helped this first time homeschool mom get things together to teach my lovely kids.
Heather Davis
Hello, my children are 5, 7 and 11 years old. I have always wanted to use Oak Meadow, but have never been able to afford them. This would be a dream come true to be able to use their amazing curriculum. We would also be thrilled for the book and art kit. I have both of you liked on my Facebook.
Rebecca
I have 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 7. I love that the oak meadow curriculum is unique and creative.

Colleen
I have 2 kids ages 11 and 14. I am interested in this approach as it looks very natural and yet seems to give some structure and direction to learning while inspiring!
Sarah
My kids are 9, 8, 5, and 2. The older children have requested a more nature-based approach to school. Seems like this would fit!

I have two students that would fit the 8th grade and below bracket. One is in 7th grade (13) and the other is in 5th grade (10). I think that Oak Meadow might be just what I am looking for. I have written much of my own curriculum for these two students, and as I am getting older, I find that I need to lean more on outside curriculum and I would appreciate Oak Meadow’s structure. At the same time, it seems like Oak Meadow also has many choices in terms of how they would like to learn the material and I like that.
Julie S
My son is four and the fact that the curriculum is nature based and active is very appealing to us!
Julie S

Abby Davis
My children are 6 and 3. I’m a previous teacher and decided to homeschool my children because my son is a strong independent learner. He thrives more on his own than traditional instruction. That’s what I love about homeschooling. It is more one on one student centered learning. This is the type of learning where my children learn the best without all the added pressures of being “forced” to learn things. My son is more further along than he would be in a traditional setting with traditional curriculum. This curriculum seems to be exactly what we are looking for being that it is student centered. 🙂 I would love to be given the chance to try it out!
Mindy O.
Wesley is my 12 year old son. This is my first year homeschooling him, and we are looking for a more relaxed approach. A less “textbook” approach. I think Oak Meadow will allow us to have more time to do field trips, nature walks, and be involved in our community groups.
Rebecca
My sons are 5 and 3. The eldest has sensory processing disorder (along with some other interesting bits), but we find the natural world causes much less sensory overload than the man-made world so nature studies are great for us.
Ronda
My kids are 11 and 10 . We’ve been homeschooling since the beginning and have always enjoyed a more natural, gentle, non-textbook approach to learning. I think Oak Meadow would align well with our curriculum style, and with the flexibility I could easily keep both kids together in the same program level.
Katie Davis
My children are 7 and 4. I like that this program is student centered, flexible and nature based. I think this is a program my kids would enjoy doing.
Crystal Pullen
7 and 11, I would love to engage my kids in real world education as a family.
Susan Neely
I have liked both oak meadow and simple homeschool. I homeschool my Granddaughter Valerie. She is 13 and has special needs. The Oak Meadow curriculum would be ideal for her. I can be tailored to her learning abilities and style.
katherine
We have a 6 year old and a 4 year old. They love everything nature so I think this would be a great fit for us.
sarah
My daughter is 6 and I think oak meadow looks awesome because it is more than memorization and worksheets. I also love the way it incorporates nature since we are big outdoors people.
Lisa
My children are 12, 10 and 7 years old. I think my family would enjoy Oak Meado’ws approach because my kids are very creative and like projects that challenge them to think critically and synthesize information they are learning. Oak Meadow’s curriculum offers those types of activities throughout the year in a variety of subjects. My children also enjoy the integrated approach when it comes to history, literature, spelling, grammar and writing, so Oak Meadow would be a perfect fit for them.
Desria Seay
We already us Oak Meadow for this year’s curriculum. I would love to have next years also since we love it so.
Mrs M
Our kiddo is 5 and I like Oak Meadow’s approach because it fosters a love of learning not just recitation of facts and figures. Using nature, fairy tales, myths and legends to teach will capture their imaginations and will help them become creative thinkers which what we are looking for in our children.
Desria Seay
We have already “liked” Simple Homeschool and Oak Meadow on FB!

My daughter is 7 and we would love the Oak Curriculum for 2nd Grade because we did K and part of 1st grade out a Waldorf Inspired school but due to bullying and an unresponsive administration we had to pull out and decided to homeschool.

Our kids/curious little monkeys are almost five and almost three. I actually just received my Oak Meadow catalog in the mail the other day (*squeal*). It’s been on my favorites list for a couple of years as we’ve mulled over when and how to begin homeschooling. Their approach seems to most closely match ours with the extra oomph of keeping us on our game…like something we would do already, but with ways for me and my husband to help our kids tie together and apply all that we’re exploring as a family. I’ve been looking for something that “feels right” and the resources falling under the same style as Oak Meadow have really caught my eye!

I love the use of stories to teach (my girls LOVE stories of all kinds) and the well rounded approach to education.

Sarah
My kids are 8 & 6. I think both of my kids would love this approach and after reviewing their website, I would like to incorporate this into our homeschooling. I love the part I read that said “Particularly, in regard to the young children who would be using this First Grade curriculum, we feel the best approach is
to integrate the recommendations concerning stories, notebooks,
poems, music, etc., into the natural flow of daily activities, so the
child doesn’t learn to make a distinction between “school” and
“life.” In this way, the child gradually develops the attitude that
expanding one’s knowledge and capabilities is part of the process
of life, and indeed is what life is all about.” I love that thinking. I was educated in the traditional sense and I want to get away from that in our homeschooling.
Jessica H
My children are 3 and almost one. Although we are not quite ready for kindergarten, this approach to learning really appeals to me and feels like a good fit for our family.

My daughter is 8 years old. I like that the program seems very nature oriented and seems to have a relaxed pace.
Lena
I have 2 children ages 5 and 12. What I think our family would enjoy about the curriculum, is that it is colorful and it looks simple to use. I really think we would enjoy sitting and reading this together.
Ann
My kids are 10 and 6. I like that waldorf education is closely tied in to children’s developmental stages. So they find relevance in the subject matter and are genuinely interested in learning it.
Jamie
Mr children are 4 and 1. I think my family would enjoy the hands on activities and flexibility of Oak Meadow.
kimberly
My kids are 5,5, 7, and 12. I think oakmeadow would work very well for my young kids because they love the outdoors and I believe in play to learn. They could do “school” and then explore outside and put their education to the test.

Heather
My children are 7, 5, and 3. We would love the Oak Meadow curriculum because my kids like school to be an all day, outdoors in the grass and trees, up to our elbows in stories and paper and glue and glitter type of thing. 🙂 Oak Meadow would fit right in with the way our family “does school.”

I will be homeschooling for the first time beginning this year. My children are ages 11, 9, and 2. Ever since I started researching curriculums, I have been drawn to Oak Meadow. The curriculum is extensive, but flows nicely and I love the emphasis on nature.
Jennie
6 and 3 year old, never heard of it so I would love to try this and sounds great!

I have a 4.5 year old, 2 year old and 9 month old so we’re early in our homeschooling journey. I like Oak Meadow because it’s a gentle introduction to education.
Beth
The kids are 11 and 13, and they enjoy the flexible learning experience.
Grace
My girls are 7 and 9. We chose homeschool so we could take a quieter approach that allowed the girls the time they needed to let things sink in and really become life long learners. Oak Meadow seems to both honor that approach and encourage children to enjoy the process.

My son is 24 and was raised on Waldorf. He is now a fully independent adult who has found his life’s work in this world. I’d love to have the same opportunity for my 11 y.o. daughter.

I have 4 kids. My oldest son is 8, my twin daughters are 7 and my youngest is 4. I tried oak meadow with my son years ago but it wasn’t a good fit for him at the time. I always thought it would be an excellent curriculum for my daughters so this spring I took the plunge and got the second and third grade curriculums. We started working this summer and the kids love it! I really like how it’s very interactive with the kids and doesn’t require a high reading ability early on. Even though my kids are all gifted, the older three are “reading delayed ” and last year I found it very challenging having to read complicated instructions over and over for them to do any schoolwork! My kids especially love the music and knitting that is incorporated into the program. Never have they begged to do school work, but this year they’ve actually participated enthusiastically! I love oak meadow!

Julie Walter
My children are 4, 2, and 4 months old. My oldest would be starting JK in September, but we feel strongly about homeschooling and will keep him home. We are involved with a local biodynamic farm and have been introduced to Waldorf Education, as it is a land trust situation with the local Waldorf school involved. I would love to integrate Waldorf principles into our homeschool journey. I am a classroom teacher, but see how the Ontario curriculum is not meeting the needs of our children. They need a greater focus on arts, nature and play and less emphasis on academics. Oak meadow curriculum was recommended to me by a member of our local Transition group and I would love to try this curriculum myself but can’t afford it at this time. I would be ecstatic to win this contest! Oak Meadow seems like a good fit for our family. For an extra entry: I was already a fan of both Oak Meadow and Simple Homeschool before this contest came along.
Kristen M. Dreyer
Our children are 9, 5, and 2 1/2. I have liked the concept of Oak Meadow for years after being introduced to it through our first son’s Waldorf preschool. I like the gentle, holistic nature, the use of living books, and the hands on aspect as well. I am homeschooling my two children for the first time this year and am using Oak Meadow Grade 4 as my core. We are all looking forward to it!

Yay for including we foreigners! My kids are 6, 4, 1 and one due any day now. Oak Meadow seems to take the best bits of the steiner waldorf approach without sacrificing academic achievement along the way. It would be a great fit here in my part of Australia where we have really strict rules for homeschooling but I would prefer to give the children a more wholistic, natural and gentle education.

My daughter is four. Not only is she the only child, she is the only child in a multi-generational home. For her, that means a lot of time spent around adults. With Oak Meadow, we adults learn to toss out our own agendas for activities that support her natural development into the lively, creative individual she is.

My friends ask me ask the time if homeschooling my daughter could me an added stress. Well, even if it is I’m not going to stop. It’s what’s best for her and I know it’s the right path for us. My daughter also had a hard time sitting and doing copy work all the time. This would benefit us greatly.

Linda
This is for my grandchildren. My daughter currently homeschools her 9 year old Autistic son and 3 year old daughter. She’s now expecting twins. I think this system would be very helpful for her. Having a teaching method that focuses on the individual child’s needs and learning abilities, involves the whole family, and is nature oriented sounds perfect to meet the wide and varied needs her children have. They’re a military family, so having suggestions for affordable activities will he welcome. She could really use something like this and it will benefit the whole family.
Sue
Our children are 5,4,2 1/2 and 1. We would get a lot of use out of the K curriculum! I like the hands-on approach for young children.

My son is starting first grade this year and we have chosen oak meadow- I am excited to try this for the year. We are excited about the focus on drawing and a different approach to introducing letters and sounds. Some of this will be review, but still helpful. This would be so helpful for our family.
Rebecca
My daughter is 4. This quote “Oak Meadow encompasses the whole child, the whole family, the whole self.

Hi our children are 8 and 5. We have used Oak Meadow for 3 years now and love it. Its so great to be able to have two children working on the same thing but at different levels as the curriculums are often well intertwined. Our family is very outdoors orientated and Oak Meadow works so well with this. I love how it covers every area of our lives but lets us deliver how we want to went we want to. Being in New Zealand means we need to flip a few things round but it still works so well. Working with Oak Meadow also means our children can talk about other children around the world doing the same thing and that really special.

My daughter and I enjoy many adventures together learning about the world around us including hiking, kayaking and beach combing for natures treasures and these moments are times I treasure now and will forever. To be able to bring that nature into the classroom and to take the classroom out into the world around us would make learning a great adventure for her and allow us to form an even stronger bond.

Rebecca Lake
I would like to win the curriculum not for myself but for a friend who is homeschooling her five year old daughter for the first time starting in September. When she asked me for advice on picking a curriculum I recommended Oak Meadow after looking at several other programs. Her family is very much into nature and learning with their hands and Oak Meadow just seems to fit not only how they learn but how they live. They have a very tight budget and have been trying to get the funds together to buy the First Grade package but haven’t been able to do it yet. It would be awesome to win and help them get their first year of homeschooling off to a great start.

Our children are 6.5, 3, and a baby to be. I think Oak Meadow would be a fantastic fit for my eldest (first grade) but still a lot of fun for our preschooler who enjoys participating in our school activities here and there. It just seems really in tune with what we desire in a curriculum and my own schooling/parenting/life philosophies.

We are new to home schooling and my kids are 6.5, 4,& 1. The oak meadow approach seems like a perfect for for our family. I love the Waldorf method and appreciate the way Oak Meadow focuses on a rhythm to all things- even learning- while also emphasizing getting out in nature.

I even believe I read that Oak Meadow features music study and my eldest son has requested to learn how to play the recorder. This would be a great way to see if Oak Meadow will be as great a fit for our family as I expect that it will be for many years to come!

I have been looking at Oak Meadow for awhile now. It was recommended by another home-schooling family. My young people are 8 yrs and 6 yrs and I haven’t followed a curriculum so far but we are getting to the point where we are needing a little structure. Oak Meadow sounds like it may be a good fit for our educational journey. We fall more towards unschooling in the sense that we use experience and child led interests as our guide. Oak Meadow sounds like it is a flexible guide for us to follow.
Savannah Barker
My kids are 2 years and 4 months. I’m interested in this package because I’m wanting to begin homeschooling my oldest soon & youngest later on. My oldest loves anything and everything about nature, and this is the first thing I’ve come upon that seems that it would work for us! Thanks!

My 3 boys are 9, 8, & 3. They LOVE being outside and I’ve asked them long before now what would they like to do in school to learn better. They requested more educational games and art. I think this would be great as my two older boys have many “learning challenges but are able to learn” with lots of hands on, discussion, and they ask many questions about nature and think this would be a good & different approach for all of us! I’m always seeking better and new ideas for us. I say, “us” because I’m learning a lot right along with them.
Holly
Gentle, hands on meaningful lessons. 🙂 Would love to do a program like this with our 5th grader, so many other 5th grade curriculums are full of busy book work & lose the “wonder” aspect encouraged in the younger years.

For the last weeks I has been researching in every web site trying to find the rigth program for us , and after read all the information and made a lot of phone calls, I always come back to my fist option : Oakmeadow ,. , I have to confess that I am already in excitement- stress-panic mode hahahaha about the approaching homeschool opening day , but having a strong and organized curriculum is like a lifesaver for this first time mom , and at the same time is good to know that I can let my kids enjoy the education process without miss any important subject in this new learning experience.

Destiny
Hello
My name is Destiny and this will be my first year homeschooling my son jaydin. Jaydin is seven years old and he will be going into the second grade.
Homeschool is a whole new world to me. I find myself being nervous, scared, but over all excited about homeschooling my child. I want to do what is best for my son and over all I want to make sure that this is a positive experience for the both of us.
The one thing that has been a bit overwhelming is choosing a curriculum; there are to many to choose from! After spending hours on the internet researching curriculums, lesson plans, field trips, and homeschool groups, i started to feel a bit discouraged. Although there were so many curriculum to choose from it seemef that each program was lacking something that I felt wad important to my childs academic success. The curriculums were either to religious, to much work, confusing, lack of accreditation, to expensive, or it was just plain boring. I have a second grader! Learning is supposed to be exciting and fun while at the same time academically challenging. I almost called it quits with my internet search until I stumbled across Oak Meadows school. I spent almost an hour on their website learning everything about that program. I fell in love! I said to myself FINALLY, I found a curriculum that is perfect for my child. I love the fact that it waldorf inspired and they have such a strong emphasis on play and creativity. I loved the fact that this program is more “old school”, we live in a technology driven world that it seems that our children lack creativity, drive, and they have little to no imagination because they no longer are outside playing or playing with toys. They are so wrapped up with their ipad, television, computer and video games. Oak Meadows provides books filled with amazing stories that can broaden a child’s curosity about his or her world. The program provides materials that are hands on, so not only is the child reading about science but he or she is able to experiment with the new concepts that they have learned. Oak meadows makes learning fun but at the same time they are still challenging the child academically! We can clearly see that oak meadows main goal is to raise a well rounded student, they encourage play, creativity, music, arts and crafts while at the same time providing a strong, rich and challenging curriculum. This project based program gives education and lesrning a whole new meaning. The best part is its accredited which is very important to me. I know my son will love this program he excels in science and math and he is also a hands on type of learner. He will have so much fun doing projects and learning new science and mathematical concepts. My son also enjoys arts and crafts he will love painting and playing with clay. Although my son isnt the biggest fan of reading and language arts I feel that he will enjoy reading the books that oak meadows have chose. Most importantly my son is going to have a blast learning!
My goal is to raise a strong intelligent Christian young man. I want my son to do well in school and have so many opportunities. It is important to me that he lives a happy and successful life. The only way that my son can be successful is to get a great education. I strongly believe that oak meadows is the best program for ny child and I am more than confident that this program will contribute to my sons success.
Thank you for reading!

I have a 13 year old son and a 10 year old daughter. We transitioned from the Robinson curriculum a year ago (to a more traditional schooling approach) and while i do feel that we need more structure, my kids have not taken well to it, (particularly my 10 year old, who has a very artistic/musical nature). I think Oak Meadow could be the happy medium that I am looking for.

My kids are 7, 3, and 1 and I love this approach. The nature study is awesome and my kids love being outdoors.

I home school our 7 year old son. He loves classic literature which is why I think oak meadow would work well for him.

This curriculum looks so interesting. I want to try a more relaxed curriculum with my daughter than enrolling her in public school. This looks perfect!

Our Children are 1.5, 5 and 7.
We really believe in the focus of nature in education and the customization of education to fit the individual child. Unfortunately, we just don’t have the money for the curriculum right now. We have liked both pages.

My daughter is 8 and I have twin boys who are 5 years old. Oak Meadow seems like the most natural extension of our daily lives right now.

My children are 4 and 6 years old. I’m looking forward to adding a rhythm into homeschooling a first grader this year and adding some direction to our studies that Oak Meadow provides. I also “liked” both on FB. Thanks for the oppurtunity!

I have a 5 year old starting K and a 3 and 1 year old.

My kids are 4 & 5 and I was already planning to use Oak Meadow, so this would be a huge savings for us!

Would love to use this with my 6yo son, a curriculum that could teach us both so much, fun times in nature, loving and learning from the beauty all around
Happy days x

My boys are 5, 7, 9, and 12. This is our first official year homeschooling everybody and I had never heard of Oak Meadow until this post but I’m very intrigued!
