GRAY, Tenn. - s4story -- New homeschool parents can rest assured thanks to years of research compiled on homeschool outcomes. Homeschooling works. Studies indicate that "homeschool students score above average on achievement tests, regardless of their parents' level of formal education or their family's household income." Test scores also reveal that home-educated students "typically score above average on the SAT and ACT college admissions tests" (NHERI.org). More good news from The National Home Education Research Institute's website is that "research also indicates that children's academic achievement is not related to whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers." Homeschooling produces excellent results, and the average parent can effectively implement a course of study at home. That's a good thing since homeschooling is arguably mainstream in 2021 as the objection to public and virtual schools intensifies over concerns for safety and longing for connection.

New homeschool parents can also rest assured that there is help for their fresh start and support along the way. "Parents homeschooling for the first time have a lot of questions," said Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, which celebrated twenty years in publication this year. "We have answers and confidence to share, and we are here to tell new homeschooling parents that the future is bright!"
