Naming your homeschool
Just a word of advice from a veteran: what may seem like a cute, clever, whimsical name for your school when you are just starting out with preschoolers can feel like a real albatross to your kids when they are older for a variety of situations. Think filling out forms for community sports, etc. where name of school is requested, but much more importantly when they apply to college. Yeah, I know you think that won't be happening from your HS but it might. In my case, I had established myself as a private school, legally in my state and had a specific # attached to my school which was useful in signing them up for our state's proficiency exam, SAT's etc. so it seemed problematic to me to change it as time went on. So I tried to use stationary that reflected a tongue-in-cheek reference to my school name when I wrote cover letters for college admissions committees, but boy I wish I'd thought that one over better initially and I know my sons wished that as well. They couldn't lose that name until they had a college diploma to put on their resume instead!
