Setting Up a Homeschool Space 101

Did you know that millions of Americans are currently or have been homeschooled at one point in time in their life? While not as frequently discussed as other, more traditional schooling methods, homeschooling is a very significant means of education within the United States, and it is only getting more popular. 

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, many more students are moving to homeschooling in order to learn in safer, more controlled environments. In fact, 9% of children being educated are being homeschooled as of 2020, a significant increase from the year before. This statistic continues to rise month over month too. This trend is not just within the U.S. either- over 300 million students all over the world switched to being homeschooled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

With so many families looking to homeschooling to educate their children, the need to create the perfect homeschool space becomes more apparent than ever. Setting up a homeschool space that is comfortable, controlled, and well-planned out is crucial for the success of your children. That is why we have compiled a number of homeschool space ideas to help you in setting up a homeschool space that you and your entire family will enjoy. 

Factors to Consider When Setting Up a Homeschool Space

First, there are a number of important factors to consider when planning to set up the perfect homeschooling space. These factors will all contribute to the overall success of homeschooling and are important to keep in mind. Here are some of the top things to consider when setting up a homeschool space:

  1. Your homeschooling space should foster learning and exploration.

Setting up a boring, drab room will not inspire any children to learn or explore. On the other hand, setting up a room filled with toys and other distractions will not promote the primary objective of the space- learning. Your homeschooling space must be a perfect balance of fun and creative-inducing while still allowing for focus. 

  1. Keeping your homeschooling space clean and organized is a must. 

Not many adults can function in a dirty or unorganized environment, and your children are no different. In order for your learning space to be productive and efficient, it should be well-maintained and strategically organized. That way you can always find everything you need, there are no unnecessary distractions, and the space fosters a comforting, safe feeling. 

  1. Just because it is school, doesn’t mean it needs to be boring. 

Productivity is obviously important when it comes to homeschooling. The main point, after all, is to educate your children. That doesn’t mean, however, that your homeschooling space needs to be boring, stuffy, or imitate a standard classroom setting. Design your homeschooling environment with both productivity and enjoyment in mind. That way, your children are excited to be in the space and look forward to working there! 

  1. Remember the goal of the homeschooling space. 

It can be easy to get caught up in the frivolous facets of setting up a homeschool space. Cute decorations, fun toys, and more can all get in the way of what the main reason was in the first place- to learn. Getting the right supplies and learning tools is key when setting up a homeschooling space. So while it is fun and important to set up a nice learning environment, it is crucial above all else to have the proper materials to allow your children to learn and grow. 

  1. The key to a successful homeschooling space is creating an environment where everyone can focus. 

There are several factors to consider when setting up a homeschool space. Arguably the most important, however, is to set up an environment where your children can focus. That means eliminating unwanted and unnecessary distractions. And what is the biggest, most common unwanted distraction? Sound. Luckily, we have a number of solutions that can help eliminate this problem, as discussed below!

Homeschool Space Ideas to Help You Check All of the Boxes

Now that you are familiar with 5 of the most important factors to remember when setting up a homeschool space, here are home homeschool space ideas to make sure you meet and exceed them all!

  1. Proper Working Surface

It is important to have an awesome working space within your homeschool space. Ideally, this will be some sort of large table or surface where your kids can spread out their work, and leave it there to return to later. Having this separate, large space dedicated to their schooling will allow them to get their work done without any interruptions or inhibitors like small or shared spaces can bring.

  1. Comfort is Key

One of the biggest advantages of homeschooling is that you can learn from the comfort of your own home- so why not make sure that comfort is there? Creating a comfortable environment will allow your children to relax, settle into the space, and focus on the important things at hand. 

  1. Have Some Fun With It

As mentioned above, just because it is a space for learning does not mean it needs to be boring. Have fun when setting up your homeschool space. Let your kids pick out some of the furniture or decorations, paint the wall a fun color that promotes focus, and include supplies that are necessary and exciting. Making your homeschooling space fun is only going to excite and encourage everyone to spend more time there!

  1. Avoid the #1 Distraction

Last, but certainly not least, it is essential for any good homeschool space to be designed in order to avoid the #1 most common distraction- noise. Animals running around the house, footsteps from other family members, neighbors or traffic noises from outside, construction on a nearby home- there really is no limit to where unwanted noise can come from. All of them have one thing in common, however, they are extremely distracting and are not ideal for any sort of working or learning environment. There are a number of solutions to deal with this problem. Thick curtains can help to block out and insulate some noises, carpet or rugs can help to cut down on foot-step and animal related-noises, but there is one solution that stands out amongst the rest: CitiQuiet soundproof windows for your homeschooling space or office.
