Guide to Homeschooling in Boerne
Thinking About Homeschooling in Boerne?
I’m heading into my third year of homeschooling my kids (currently 7 and 5), with a toddler and baby in tow—so trust me when I say, I get the beautiful chaos of learning at home! This guide isn’t about recreating a traditional school experience in your living room. It’s about slowing down, following your kids’ interests, and building a lifestyle of learning that fits your unique family.
Boerne has a rich, supportive homeschool community, and I’ve pulled together local resources, groups, classes, and tips to help you find your rhythm—whether you’re just getting started or looking to connect more deeply.
You don’t have to do it all. You just have to start.
