The Pereiras spent over a year exploring homeschooling — meeting homeschooling families, debating, questioning, and learning — before deciding to withdraw their children from school. Even after they began, it took another two years to align on their approach and curriculum. Now, eight years into their homeschooling journey, they regard it as one of the most significant decisions of their 26+ years of marriage — one that reshaped their understanding of home and transformed the way they live and love as a family.

Should you consider homeschooling?
Only YOU can decide that for your family. Parents alone carry both the authority and the responsibility to make choices in the best interests of their children. In this book, Adele Pereira does not recommend homeschooling as a universal solution for every family. Instead, she encourages purposeful, intentional parenting — because thoughtful decisions about education shape a child’s entire life.

The goal of this book is to help parents reflect deeply and make informed, values-based decisions about their children’s education. Adele invites readers to pick up this book with a notebook and pen, reflect honestly, and choose what truly serves the best interests of their children and their family.
