 Homeschooling Musings

📅 Date: Thursday, 21st August 2025

⏰ Time: 5pm KSA | 3pm UK | 10am ET in shaa Allaah

This is a LIVE workshop. The recording will be available exclusively for Nurture Islam Parenting Club members

Homeschooling can be beautiful, but it can also feel heavy at times.

Do you ever find yourself asking…

❓ Will my child get the right qualifications?

❓ How can I homeschool when they become older?

❓ Will any universities accept us?

❓ Am I ruining their career?

You are not alone.

In this workshop, we’ll pause and step back from the daily grind to see the big picture of homeschooling. Inshaa Allaah we will guide you through why every homeschool needs a road map, so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence, instead of doubt and exhaustion.

 Together, we’ll look at:

• Finding your why
• The benefits of seeing the big picture
• Planning and goal-setting with ease
• Gathering what truly matters
• Lessons from 18 years of homeschooling experience

📝 You’ll also receive simple worksheets to begin creating your own personalised homeschool road map. In shaa Allaah.
