Life Learning - Unschooling Magazines & Websites

Let Life Learning's website help you discover how to employ self-directed, life-based learning in your own life and/or that of your child.

Read all about how other people just like you and your children have learned without being taught...what helps and what hinders, and what they have achieved in their lives as a result.

Laugh, cry and identify with parents who are helping themselves and their children learn from the real world...and learning a lot about themselves along the way.

Think about how we are limited by a society that believes in coercive education...and how we can transcend those limits in our daily lives. Find support and reassurance for interest-based, learner-directed education (for all ages) and non-coercive, natural parenting.

This type of learning is sometimes known as "unschooling," "radical unschooling," "unstructured homeschooling" or "natural learning." We prefer the term "life learning" and see it as a lifestyle rather than as a method of homeschooling...and we like to think it applies to people of all ages, not just children.

Our writers provide honest and thought-provoking ideas that will you think outside-the-box about ways to encourage and support active, self-directed learning. Most of our contributors are life learning parents and teens, or adults who learned without schooling as children. In addition, some of the world’s foremost educational thinkers, researchers and writers share their journeys of exploration into how people learn informally.
