The name “The Broad Room”, comes from a Charlotte Mason quotation:
“Our aim in education is to give a full life. … We owe it to [the -children] to initiate an immense number of interests. ‘Thou hast set my feet in a broad room’ should be the glad cry of every intelligent soul. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time.”
I couldn’t put it any better – “Life should be all living and not merely a tedious passing of time” Especially as we offer that spacious place, that ‘wide room’ or ‘broad room’ to our children as they learn and grow. Let me encourage you to live life in abundance and enjoy learning alongside your children.
Meet Stephanie:
Philip and I started homeschooling our five children in January 1985. The older two had a couple of spells in school; the younger three never went to school. Four of the five children are now grown, we are homeschooling our youngest child and I am now working on building up my home-based business.
I am a teacher with teaching experience in New Zealand and England. I worked as a volunteer for over twenty years, supporting mothers in their mothering and homeschooling.
I started The Broad Room in 2002 because I saw a need for good, professional, homeschool help available from someone who has ‘walked the talk’. And I changed the focus of The Broad Room from local courses to Internet products in 2009.
I am here for you, to encourage and equip you so that you have the confidence to do what you know in your heart is the best for you, your own children, and your family, without comparing yourself to other families or succumbing to pressure from well-meaning peers.
