All praise be to Allah SWT I am so happy to find this information! It's just what I need!

Homeschooling Methods -
OVH http://www.vahomeschoolers.org/guide/styles.asp

- Charlotte Mason (A literature-based education, founded on reading real ("living") books, short lessons, narration, copywork and dictation, and nature study)

- Classical Education (Education is divided into three stages, Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric. )

- Delayed Academics (The Moore Formula focuses on a balance of Study, Work, and Service.)

- Eclectic (Not tied in to only one method or style, they can create a totally unique homeschooling atmosphere based on their children's needs, interests, and strengths.)

- Unit Study (Sometimes called thematic units or integrated studies, involves creating units of study which link multiple subjects around a common topic or theme, rather than teaching the subjects as separate courses.)

- Unschooling (encompass many ways of natural learning; trusting children will learn what they need to know as they find a need to know it.)

- Waldorf Homeschool Method (A Waldorf curriculum is based on the developmental stages of the child's awakening consciousness, with a heavy emphasis on the role of the teacher to nurture and guide the children. )
