The Genius of Home

More about the book

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of parents choosing to teach their children at home rather than sending them to school. In this book, Catherine Read describes her experiences following her decision to school her children at home and to follow the curriculum used in Steiner-Waldorf schools. The result is the story of her journey as the primary teacher of her two daughters through the entire Waldorf curriculum - from early childhood through to high school. She outlines what she did, when she did it and why. In this inspiring account, Read reveals the flexible, artistic, challenging and ultimately rewarding nature of this unique approach to education. For any parent considering home schooling, this book is an encouraging and instructional companion.
