One skill a week
Each week is one real skill, done in your house, with you as the safety net.
What it covers
Cooking, mending, fixing, cleaning, and managing money and time.
The final exam
The last test is your child running the household for a day while you relax.
Beside the rest
Physical Education for grades 6-8 and Spanish are separate courses, so a middle schooler can take Home Base alongside the core subjects.
What this is not
- It is one course among many. You decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
- It depends on you being at home and available as the safety net.
- It is a short elective, not a full year.
