The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Part 1

Right on Target

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine just arrived at my house this week, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it. I was impressed with the great-looking, thick publication and numerous, up-to-date articles on the homeschool community. Quite a few were of interest to me personally and full of relevant information that directly applied to my homeschool situation. I've been smiling from ear to ear since I've received it.

Full of abundant and pertinent information, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine was equally perfect for those ‘brand new’ to homeschooling as well as “seasoned” veterans. It was chock-full of in-depth articles - not simply cursory examinations of the topics.

A “Real Science” section in the Summer 2008 issue, included: Theistic Evolution, Intelligent Design, and an article about Darwin.

The “Homeschool Units” section abounded with: Men and their Flying Machines, Take Flight with Science, and Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Teaching gifted children, raising and educating special needs children, personal homeschool stories, and legal aspects of a home education were just a few of the other topics covered. Too many to mention - all interesting.


The look of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine impressed me greatly! Conveniently, this wealth of information was delivered all online, in digital format. Navigating through it was so simple, and there was a particularly useful, built-in magnification option. The pages were laid out well, and easy to read.

Homeschool product ads were positioned throughout, supplying ample opportunities to get to know what’s available out there for the homeschooler. The online magazine was a joy to look through from beginning to end.

Criticisms of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine are few, and far between. What would be great, though, coming from someone who loves Interior Decorating, is a 4-page spread of trendy, efficient schoolrooms. That would make this magazine PERFECT!!

I was so glad my homeschooling magazine came this week. I was unsure what to expect, but was happily surprised by the high-end look of the magazine and its articles.
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine – Right on target for homeschooling families.
