Questionnaire to Help Choose Classroom Style

Before the questionnaire, you will find a list of each“style” of homeschool classroom that we’ve presented. Next to each one is a corresponding number.The questions each have multiple choice answers; simply circle one answer per question. You’ll notice under each answer choice is also a corresponding number. After you answer ALL the questions, look at the numbers under each item you have circled. (These numbers coincide with the list.) If you find that you have several of one number, then you might wish to consider that particular type homeschool classrooms for your family!

note: (circling “a little of both” can mean perhaps that a room set aside works well, with the ability to allow students to go to their rooms, or the living room when they need independent study time uninterrupted…this is what my own family does)

Compile your answer numbers and compare to the list. Does it seem that you have gravitated toward one certain style of classroom?Or, perhaps, is it clear that you have a few choices available?

There are most likely more questions which you can add in order to clarify your decision.Which ever room you choose, remember that there is no “right” or “wrong”…choose the way thatbest fits your unique and special family!
