If you’ve found yourself frustrated with trying to replicate “school” at “home,” do yourself a favor and check out A Thomas Jefferson Education.

Right now you can sign up for one of their most popular courses (a $160 value) completely FREE! This philosophy has been a breath of fresh air for our homeschool.
