Whether you are a seasoned homeschooler or just curious about this educational option for your children, Fitra Journal offers a community of Muslim homeschoolers' experiences so that we may travel this less-worn path together, in sha Allah.
Our diverse contributors hail from both Muslim and nonMuslim-majority countries and have experienced a wide variety of homeschooling styles. The journal publishes personal accounts, methodology explanations, resource reviews and a bounty of general homeschooling information and ideas, always from a deen-centred perspective.
Issue One - 'Getting Started' has several articles that are especially helpful for beginning and organizing your homeschooling lifestyle, such as budget planning, curriculum explanations, our favourite resources and solid self-care tips to avoid burnout.
About the editor: Brooke Benoit is a magazine editor and artist who attended the San Francisco Art Institute and earned a degree in Rhetoric from the University of Alaska Anchorage. When it came time to enrol her children in school, instead Brooke immersed herself in learning the various styles and means to home-school. Brooke currently facilitates her seven children's education (at home) on the southern coast of Morocco.
