Indigoextra provides information to parents considering home education / homeschooling or already home educating their children. It includes tips on teaching a range of subjects - such as maths, reading and writing and science and contains useful links to a range of English and French home schooling organisations. The website focusses on France, as we're in Languedoc Roussillon and includes a kids section with cartoons, spot the difference and crossword puzzles.
Home education is a real alternative to school which nurtures children's sense of wellbeing, allows them to develop naturally and autonomously and to pursue areas of learning that they are most interested in. We're part of an expanding group of home educators in the Aude and there now regular events for families and children in Languedoc, France.
We are a home-educating family of four, Allison Carmichael and Martin Woods, with our sons, Tormey and Saskian. As well as home schooling, we design websites. Allison is an artist, painter and illustrator and we run self-catering gites in Aude.
