Giveaway: Subscription to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Peculiar of How do we get there from here?
I have so much respect for those who choose to homeschool especially since I know I could never do it. I don’t think I have the commitment or the patience. At my school, it would probably be recess all day!The Old Schoohouse Magazine is a great resource of inspirational and practical content for all homeschooling families. This full-color 200-page, quarterly publication is designed by fellow homeschoolers who can relate to the unique challenges and issues that you face every day. They also provide you with a Schoolhouse Store to insure that you’re properly equipped with everything you’ll need in your schooling endeavors. Definitely a valuable one-stop place!
Some of the areas the Old Schoolhouse Magazine discusses are:
- Teachers’ Lounge — Get to know our “Family of Readers”. Each issue includes a “Readers Helping Readers” section, featuring answers from several of our readers to a question posed by one of our readers.
Show & Tell — Meet several homeschooling families who tell a little about themselves, how they homeschool, and what they’ve learned. This section demonstrates that homeschoolers are certainly not all alike! You’ll see a wide variety of backgrounds, circumstances, styles, and great ideas.- HomeschoolBlogger — Join our community of homeschool web bloggers to learn from others, and meet new friends—without even being online! In this column, we tap into the wealth of wisdom, wit, and creative insight in the best of recent homeschool blogs.
- Show & Tell, Too — Get to know the people behind educational companies and products! Learn what they have to offer and how you can benefit from products designed especially for homeschoolers—often by homeschoolers.
- Homeschool Nations — Keep up-to-date on what’s happening in homeschooling news, whether it affects all homeschoolers or is especially relevant to particular states or countries. Homeschool Nation is often brought to you by a homeschooler from your location.
- And many more!

I am new to homeschooling and I just love the fact that there is a magazine for support and the section on blogging with other families to network is awesome

we’ve homeschooled for 12 years now (my oldest will be a senior next year)!
I think it’s neat how they have their publication on every continent
I’ve never subscribed to their magazine.

the fact that its out there.
nice contest
I never knew this existed but I know the kids always feel mail is special so that in itself should help the kids be interested.
I homeschool my kids, actually we just completed our first year. I’m not sure if the magazine would be right for me but it might!!
I did see a free section, where free things are offered on Friday, I’m all about free things lOL!
I’m also going to vote for your photo entry.

We are thinking of homeschool one of our children and would love to learn more! THANKS
thanks!!
I have been homeschooling for 10 years now and have subscribed to TOS in the past, or have picked copies up at the bookstore. For the magazine itself, one of my favourite parts is the advertisements. It sounds crazy, I know, but I have found some great resources or books by leafing through the ads, that I wouldn’t otherwise have heard about. Oftentimes, some of the advertisers will donate prizes as well, for giveaways.
At the website, I refer quite often to the product reveiws and I do subscribe to their weekly Freebie Friday email newsletter and their Homeschool Minute newsletter, where great writers, like Todd Wilson from The Familyman Ministries, offer encouragement and practical ideas to help you on your journey.
I’m a teacher and I wish I could have homeschooled my children. many of them come out of homeschooling lightyears ahead of where we as teachers seem to be able to take them. Trust me the reason is not lack of money but I can’t go on about that now. I think this is a great magazine and I can’t help but steal some of your great ideas.
Show and tell- It sounds interesting to learn how others are homeschooling there children and get ideas on homeschooling your own.

I am considering homeschooling my son and starting in about a year or so. This would give me a wonderful introduction to the area of homeschooling and perhaps help me in my product choices. I found the “international” area of particular interest as it provided Canadian homeschooling links that I had been unaware of. The product review section would also be of use to me. Great giveaway.

I subscribe to their newsletter already and have wanted their magazine for a while. I love that their online store offers free shipping all the time. That influences my likelihood to buy!! Thanks for the giveaway!

THANK YOU GOD BLESS
I will be starting to homeschool my son in the fall and I noticed this wonderful magazine at a friend’s house who is homeschooling both her kids. I was impressed by the great articles and resources it contained. Would love to win a subscribtion. Thanks for the chance.
I started homeschooling my 5yo daughter at the beginning of the school year….I must say I’m hooked and so is she! But the best part is that we belong to a school district/school that has classes just for homeschooled children. My daughter goes to school once a week and I spend 1 hour a day homeschooling. We have the best of both worlds, Perfect!
I really like the Road Map to Success.
We are a homeschooling family of four. This is our third year of homeschooling. Thanks for posting the link. I have never seen it before but I have seen the homeschool blogger site.
I like that it has the news across the nation. Good to keep up on those sort of things.
My favorite part of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine is the Homeschool Lab section. It is always good to get others opinions on new tools.
The mag looks really good… I’ve been looking for reviews for curriculum etc. They’ve got em! YEA!
P. S. I am subscribing to your feed too! Thanks!
Since I am getting geared up to start homeschooling my children, the fact that there are resources for this is a great plus, in my book! If I win the subscription, it would be put to great, and constant use in my house.
I’d love this!

As a former teacher I would love this for my daughter and her daughter,Bella.
I like the individual product reviews. I’d love to win this!
Blessed’s last blog post..Safety for the Waterfowler
I would so enjoy reading product reviews offered in this magazine, we will be beginning our homeschool adventure this fall, and I could use all the resources I can!
What I like about the magazine? is that it actually exists, homeschooler used to get soo shunned.
We are actually planning on teaching our own 2 children at home, I was homeschooled since 5 yrs of age and loved it!

I appreciate the product reviews. There’s so much out there to choose from, so a review really helps to narrow my choices down and keeps me from making some mistakes. Thanks! Jane
I love the concept of the Resource Room. This would help me tremendously!! I have a child with dyslexia and other LD’s and who is ADD, and I have a gifted child. Homeschool is great for these kind of children (if you can do it), but there is not a whole lot of help out there and you just kind of feel your way through. I would love to have this resource handy. Enter me please. I’m totally interested!!
Peculiar’s last blog post..FRIDAY FUN DAY WITH “40 WORDS OR LESS PHOTO CHALLENGE”
I think the resources section is the most important!
[...] An Island Life – Subscription to the Old Schoolhouse Magazine (May 6th) [...]
I think I would enjoy, the show and tell, and homeschool lab

Wow! There is too much great info in the sample to choose one favorite. I really like the areas of the Resource Room, Real Science & Contests for Readers. Thanks for the contest.
I think the most interesting thing is simply the community it provides you with other homeschooling families. I looked at an article on their website and found it very interesting that some legislators and other authorities are starting to push “mental screening”… How awful! I’d love a subscription to this. Thanks!
lesson ideas and show & tell..already working with the grands!!!
thank you and enter me please..got you blogged on site…
I really like the show and tell! This would be a wonderful thing to win, especially considering I’ve been wanting to subscribe for so long. Not in our budget just yet!
I’ve posted about your contest on my homeschooling blog! Hope it sends some interest your way. I have a homeschooling giveaway on my blog too… if anyone is interested.
They have some great items in their store like the Latin learning series. They also have great resources like the college directory. Their newsletter is a great resource
i want to win
