Family TREE Update
I am in the process of updating my online database. We have had several deaths in our immediate family and I need to post some obituary notices and other miscellaneous family information.

Welcome to the Little Red School House!  This website belongs to Carol Hepburn, a home schooling Mom and family history buff.  I am so glad that you found my site and have stopped by to look it over.  I have been home schooling since 2004 and have created a number of schedules, organizational methods and other handy helpful tools to try and keep our schooling running smoothly.  You are welcome to browse and download any of my files and use them for your home school.

Getting Started

There is a lot of information on these pages and it is easiest to use our handy Search Engine below for quick results.  Just type in the word, phrase or even your family surname and it will look through all the pages on this site and bring back a listing of possible matches.  If you are looking for something specific but cannot find it, drop me an email!

My Family Tree

If you have found my website because of another genealogy search engine, you can see my Online Family Tree database. I am not working on my tree anymore (just stuck!) and cannot really answer any personal research questions. Feel free, however, to browse through my 12,000+ member database and hopefully it might help you make some new connections.

Take a Peek Into Our Home School

Our home school will probably look very different from your home school.  We don't have a school room and we don't keep regular school hours.  We don't even use textbooks!  Our school is based on the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason and as such we read from many, many living books!  This makes for a very fun, low-key, and unusual schooling experience.

We have been using Ambleside Online as well as other living books since 2004.  We use A Beka and BJUP Science textbooks as well as CIMT's FREE Math Program called MEP (Mathematics Enhancement Program, K-9). We use Rosetta Stone for Foreign Language (free through our local library) as well as other free resources found online or at our library.

My son is currently in 9th Grade at Areté Classical Christian Academy (our home school). We plan on following Ambleside Online's House of Education for Y10-12. We are committed to using CM's methods for life-long learning and feel that it is one of the BEST educational methods for home schooling.

If you would like to take a peek into our school and see how we do an actual day of scheduling/reading, click here. Feel free to email me with questions or comments -- I would be happy to tell you more about our home school and why we like Charlotte Mason and the Ambleside ONline curriculum.
