Mastering Homeschool gives you a flexible, step-by-step framework to stop spinning your wheels and start homeschooling with confidence, clarity, and calm.

Who is Mastering Homeschool right for?
you want a clear, step-by-step system to create a homeschool that's perfect for your unique family.
you've started to make plans, but you're overwhelmed by the responsibility and the logistics.
you've started to make plans, but you're drowning in opinions, voices, and ideas.
you have the beginning pieces of that dream, but you don't know where to start.
you want to homeschool with peace, joy, and progress.
Basically, this is for you if...
you prefer Google overwhelm and crowdsourcing rather than real, actionable help from experts.
you don't need help balancing good education, nurtured relationships, and preserved childhood.
you prefer to shoot from the hip rather than intentionally, carefully plan for success.
you're looking for a magic-bullet, one-size-fits-few approach to homeschool.
...and not for you if...
Even in my five years of homeschooling, I haven't done some of these things. I found value all around. Exactly the type of mentorship I needed to set my course a little more firmly as we continue on our homeschooling adventure.
"Exactly the type of mentorship I needed..."
LOVE LOVE LOVED it! It's clear and concise, and you made me feel like you're a good friend who really wants to see me succeed. It empowered me and filled me with hope. I'm excited to have this as a resource to go back through some of the modules again and again.
"It empowered me and filled me with hope."
"If you're new to homeschool (like we were), don't waste your time and money fumbling around in uncharted territory. Mastering Homeschool isn't a part of the solution; it is the comprehensive program that helped us discover what to do and how to succeed. Worth every penny and then some."
"It is the comprehensive program..."
I'm a 15+ year homeschool veteran and mentor who helps parents start their homeschool journey with clarity and confidence so they can build a peaceful, effective, and joyful homeschool that truly fits their family.
I've been known to make a spreadsheet to plan a vacation, and I may or may not declutter for fun. I'm a gelato aficionado, Keeper of the Family Traditions, and travel enthusiast—and I love scouting Trader Joe's for our family's next taste test.
Perhaps more relevant to you, I’m a former full-time homeschool mom of four, a homeschool mentor, and a course creator. Nowadays, I help parents design intentional learning environments through my course Mastering Homeschool—the course I wish I'd had when I was starting out.
Homeschool Strategist | Mentor + Friend
I'm Rachel Sanford.
I wanted to package up what I learned and share it with more people because I saw so many parents struggling with the same challenges I faced—uncertainty, overwhelm, and not knowing where to start.
I wanted to help parents create a homeschooling experience that’s peaceful, organized, and effective from the start.
I also believe that every child deserves an education that is peaceful, empowering, and effective, and every parent should feel confident and capable in their ability to homeschool.
Why I created this...
Fabulous! Mastering Homeschool made it so easy—it broke it all down and made what is overwhelming seem manageable with so many great hints and tips I'd never thought of. It's brilliant and organized.
"Made what is overwhelming seem manageable..."
I am pleasantly surprised at all the content. These modules are GOLD! I jumped into Mastering Homeschool thinking I would for sure just teach kindergarten, and now my husband and I are thinking about the many possibilities beyond!
"These modules are GOLD!"
I feel more confident than I imagined possible. I was really nervous going into homeschool, but now I'm feeling excited and prepared!
"Mastering Homeschool was the BEST thing I've done to prepare for our journey into homeschool!"
MASTERING HOMESCHOOL
The proven method
for creating your family's unique homeschool,
guiding you from the initial decision to the first day and beyond.
Here's what you'll get when you invest in Mastering Homeschool:
This module will lay the foundation for everything to come. The goal here is to create the vision for a successful homeschool.
We'll determine what is really motivating you to choose homeschooling and why you're here. We'll define your goals for your family homeschool and the values you want to honor and serve. And we'll nail down what the mission of your homeschool is so you can ensure that every homeschool decision you make helps meet that mission.
Develop Your Homeschool Mission
Every family has unique needs and circumstances, so every family's home school is going to feel a little bit different from any other family's. That's okay. That's great, in fact! That means that your homeschool is actually about the people involved, and not just about the learning the people are doing.
In these lessons, I'll walk you through the things you need to consider as you begin dreaming about what your homeschool environment can be.
Define Your Homeschool Culture
This is where you'll begin the really important and really exciting adventure of choosing your curriculum and enrichment activities.
This module will walk you through all the questions you need to ask as you begin your research, how to find the answers you need, and how to keep track of the information you discover.
Research Curriculum and Enrichment
I'm giving you the step-by-step strategy to making your very best curriculum and enrichment choices—the choices that will be academically effective for your child and the best fit for your family.
By the time we're finished here, you'll have a plan you're comfortable with, curriculum you're excited about, and the confidence you need for the first day of learning.
Select Your Curriculum and Enrichment
Outline Your School Calendar and Schedule
In this module, we'll cover exactly what you need to consider to schedule your school year, your semester, and your days.
I'll teach you how to assess your family schedule needs, limitations, and possibilities. I'll show you how to evaluate course creators’ pacing suggestions. And we'll work through ensuring there's plenty of room for your enrichment activities. Once you pull all of that together, you'll have an amazingly thoughtful and productive plan.
We will look at how to determine exactly what is required to complete your courses.
I'll walk you through everything you need to consider as you select your planning and tracking tools. Then I'll give you a little mindset pep talk. And we will finish out the module with something you'll be so proud of—a school year plan outlining every single school day.
Develop Your
Lesson Plan and Tracking
In the final module, I'll teach you how to tackle preparing your homeschool—setting up your learning space. I'll show you how to assess what materials are required and what physical space and storage are available. Then I will show you how to develop a design plan so you can complete the finishing touch of pulling it all together.
This module is the home stretch and will pull everything together so you're ready for the first day of learning.

Love the reminder that homeschools are fluid and that there is no such thing as a final draft. Grateful for the lifetime access. I will definitely go back many times. Great stuff!
"Great stuff!"
Your course is clean, gentle, and inspiring, and the tone is encouraging and congratulatory. It is helpful that you offer so many examples of how people might structure their homeschools. If you've never done something before, examples can really help take something from purely theoretical to something concrete and real. It helped me to start to see what our school would look like in practice and not just theory.
"It helped me see..."
Even though we have been doing this for a while already I really like the suggestions in here. Amazing hints and tips, Rachel. Thanks so much!
