At Healing Roots, we often hear families ask:
“Do we have to choose between total freedom and rigid structure?”
The good news? You don’t.
There’s a space in between. And that’s where we live.
Whether your family is fully unschooling, prefers a more structured approach, or is somewhere in the middle, we believe your learning model should reflect your values, your rhythms, and your child’s unique needs.
Because there is no one-size-fits-all path.
Just a commitment to growth, connection, and alignment.
Unschooling is a learner-led approach to education where children follow their interests and natural curiosity without a set curriculum. It’s about trusting that learning happens organically—through conversation, exploration, play, and real-life experience.
In unschooling homes, you might find:
Structured learning includes routines, schedules, and a planned curriculum. It offers predictability, clear expectations, and goal-setting that can feel grounding for many families.
In more structured homes, you might find:
At Healing Roots, we don’t ask you to pick sides.
We offer a flexible model that can expand or contract depending on what your child (and your family) needs. Some learners flourish with more structure. Others thrive with wide-open space. And most shift between the two throughout the year.
We’re here to walk with you as you find that balance.
It’s not “all or nothing.”
It’s “what’s working now, and how can we support it?”
"We started out wanting full freedom, but realized our kids craved some rhythm. Healing Roots helped us gently introduce structure, without losing the heart of unschooling."
You know your child best. You know what inspires them, what overwhelms them, what keeps your days grounded or chaotic.
Our job isn’t to hand you a fixed model.
Our job is to co-create a learning experience that fits your real life, and changes as you do.
Because the goal isn’t to “get it right.”
It’s to find what feels right, for right now.
