My Call to Start Homeschooling

This site was birthed from the new calling I have to start homeschooling my 9-year-old daughter.

I have spent the past four years as a Librarian at Calvary Christian Academy, in Chula Vista, California. In doing so, I have fallen in love with the science of organizing information and resources. Using my background in journalism to investigate the exciting world of homeschooling, it is my goal to discover for myself and provide for you the most pertinent information available on the subject.

My vision with this site is for it to be a safe haven for homeschool moms. The internet can be a big, bad, scary place. ISPMOM.COM aims to provide you with a secure place to exchange ideas, to fellowship, and to find recommended resources to help you in your homeschooling adventure.

Let me clarify the name of the site. ISP often refers to the Independent Study Program, or an organization committed to providing homeschoolers with educational support. ISPs offer class days, corporate field trips, guidance, accountability, and other educational and extra curricular support. In essence, this is the goal of ISPMOM.COM. The extended definition of Independent Study Program in relation to this site, and for every homeschool family in general, is inherent in the connotation of the words themselves. We, as homeschool parents, are choosing to establish for our children an educational environment independent of the traditional school setting. Thus, each of us needs a road map for our child’s individual Independent Study Program.

Take some time to navigate through ISPMOM.COM and you too will discover the useful tools you need to be a productive, organized, well-equipped, supported, loving homeschool mom. Enjoy!

Independently United,

Codie Brenner
