Historical lives as a lens on homeschooling

Jennifer Pepito organizes this case for home education around ten historical figures identified as home-educated, including Laura Ingalls Wilder, Benjamin Franklin, C.S. Lewis, Blaise Pascal, and Joan of Arc. Their stories provide a historical frame for considering how learning might take shape beyond traditional public school. Alongside those examples, the book brings together contemporary research, biblical perspectives, and practical homeschooling tips. It combines an imaginative invitation to reconsider education with guidance for putting ideas into practice, and connects home learning with the development of children’s character, faith, and purpose. The publisher description also sets the book against a critique of institutional schooling, presenting home education as an alternative.
