Buddhist Homeschool

Several years ago we discovered our highly intelligent son is severely dyslexic. After trying several alternatives, we decided that homeschooling would provide the best learning environment for him. For the past several years of homeschooling, I have at times felt like I was a lone Buddhist in a sea of Christians homeschoolers and many of the resources I have found online seem to lean toward Christian homeschoolers. I have recently discovered that I am not alone - there are a number Buddhist homeschoolers! Thus I have created this section of Family Dharma Connections devoted to Buddhist homeschooling. With the help of other homeschoolers, I hope to add more to this site.
