The Moore Foundation was started by, quite possibly, the oldest homeschoolers in modern history - Raymond and Dorothy Moore. Dorothy passed away several years ago but their books and foundation are still in use daily in many homes. They were the authors of such books as, Better Late Than Early, School Can Wait, Homegrown Kids, Minding Your Own Business and The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook. You can find them online at http://www.moorefoundation.com .

They offer a full curriculum and program online now but we do not use everything - just the books and philosophy. It falls very well in line with the Charlotte Mason philosophy, too and we actually use both quite extensively.

Their philosophy was the first one we learned about that, we felt, was what we were looking for as we began our journey 11 years ago. When our first baby was born we decided that we would homeschool.

We love the four point formula of :

1) study,
2) manual work,
3)home and/or community service and finally
4) cottage industry skills.


Please feel free to ask questions on anything I mention here and I would be delighted to share what I can.

Blessings,
