About course
"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in the fairy books, 'charm,' 'spell,' 'enchantment.' They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery. A tree grows fruit because it is a magic tree. Water runs downhill because it is bewitched. The sun shines because it is bewitched. I deny altogether that this is fantastic or even mystical." - G.K. Chesterton
In a world where magic is real and enchantment awaits around every corner, welcome to The Enchanted Homeschool - a 12-week course and full-color book from Wild + Free that brings whimsy and wonder to your children's education! Learn more here.
Like a letter from a wizarding school, we invite you to bring the same sense of magic into your homeschool days. Without delving into any dark themes, we’ll immerse ourselves in the magic and wonder of the natural world around us through 60 captivating lessons.
In HERBOLOGY, we’ll delve into the secrets of plants found in the wild—discovering their healing properties and avoiding the dangerous ones.
In MUGGLE STUDIES, we'll embark on a journey around the world, uncovering the mysteries of ancient civilizations and diverse cultures.
In THE HISTORY OF MAGIC, we'll meet the brilliant inventors and scientists who shaped our world, conducting magical experiments along the way.
In THE CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES, we'll dive into creature fantasy and mythology. From dragons to unicorns, we'll explore famous beasts from myth and legend.
And for our ENCHANTED ELECTIVES, we'll engage in wand carving, broom making, potion brewing, and savoring sweet confectionary treats—all sprinkled with a touch of magic.
Each online lesson is carefully crafted with downloadable resources, an activity or handcraft with step-by-step instructions, and a helpful video by author Leah Damon.
In addition to the course, you’ll receive a 152-page spellbinding book in the mail with highlights and instructions from each of the 60 lessons.
NOTE: Due to mailing costs and failure rates, we are no longer able to ship the books to any other country besides the USA and Canada. You can still purchase the course; however, we are unable to ship the book internationally. You'll receive a PDF of the book right away.
