Celtic Homeschool

THIS SITE IS FOR:

• Anyone interested in incorporating aspects of Celtic Education in your Home or Educational Setting, whether a homeschooler or not.
• Non-Celts who want a more "Celtic" approach to education. (After all, you don't have to be a Greek or an Italian to be interested in "Classical Education.")
• Celts who homeschool.

I am your hostess, Mitzy Daniels.  I am a "Celtic Homeschool mom."  
In case you don't know, ...

... You might be a Celtic Homeschooler if:

WHAT IS CELTIC EDUCATION?

Specifically, people talk about "types or styles of homeschooling." (Conventional, Classical, Self Paced, UnSchooling, Unit Studies, etc.)  

Celtic homeschooling has a "complex of characteristics" that sets it apart.  This does not mean these features are exclusively Celtic, nor is it a complete rejection of other flavors of education.  Rather, it is a matter of emphasis.  And of course, since Celtic Culture has no emperor, components vary from family to family!

William Butler Yeats,

On education:

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."

ABOUT THE HOSTESS:
The "husband and dad figure" of our mini clan says,

"Mitzy Daniels homeschools an averagely large tribe of triple celts.  ('triple celt," i.e., Irish, Scottish, and Bohemian.)  She has raised her lament for a Celtic Homeschool community.  And in typical Celtic Female Fashion, she adopted the motto, 'if you can't find it, make it.'  Of course, the fact that she plays a portable musical instrument was a factor in me becoming the household husband and dad."
