Approaches

These tags help you find other Indiana parents (and teachers) who want a similar approach — then you form a pod and hire. We are a meeting place and a marketplace, not a school.

Approach tags are labels families put on a pod. They are not a Redbud SKU and not a catalog. Redbud is not a school. Indiana has no required homeschool curriculum list. The parent owns instruction — including the duty of equivalent instruction under IC 20-33-2-28.

• Classical

  Grammar, logic, rhetoric; great books and discussion. Not a publisher pack.

• Montessori

  Mixed-age, child-led, prepared environment. Inspired-by, not AMI-certified.

• PBL

  Subjects wrapped around a real project. You still pick the materials.

• Charlotte Mason

  Living books, narration, nature study, short lessons. Not AmblesideOnline (that license is link-out only).

• Standards-aligned

  Families aiming at a public-school scope. Not “meets Indiana standards.”

• Unschooling

  Interest-led; no boxed year. Parent still owns instruction.

• Custom

  Your mix. Notes on the pod, not a Redbud SKU.
