The DIY Homeschooling Summit 2025
Homeschooling doesn’t have to be boxed in
If you’ve ever felt pressured to buy a full curriculum, felt stuck by “all-in-one” programs, or wished you could begin to craft a learning plan that actually fits your family—then the DIY Curriculum Homeschooling Summit is for you.
Why This Summit Matters
Boxed curriculum can feel safe—but often at the cost of flexibility, personalisation, and joy. The DIY Curriculum Summit is a chance to break free from the “one-size-fits-all” mentality and embrace homeschooling as an intentional, creative journey.
As Fearless Homeschool says, this summit is about designing a homeschool that’s more flexible, more personalised, and more aligned with the life you want to live—and all this “for a fraction of the price” of conventional curriculum packages.

Why Attend?
New homeschoolers gain clarity on how to begin well—how to meet registration requirements without becoming overwhelmed, how to choose or construct resources that match your child, and how to avoid getting stuck in “curriculum overwhelm.”
Middle-season homeschoolers may feel stuck or burnt out, and this summit offers fresh perspectives and new strategies to breathe life into your rhythm and reimagine your homeschool approach.
Families with multiple ages or varied learners will find sessions particularly helpful in navigating how to multi-level, differentiate, and adapt (something your own “From Spine to Study” approach will align with).
Key Speakers & Sessions
Here are just a few of the inspiring sessions you can look forward to:
“From Spine to Study — Building Flexible DIY Unit Studies” with Patricia Fitzgerald — how to take a single spine resource and turn it into a rich, multi-age unit study, with tips for multi-modal learning, age differentiation, and AI-assisted planning.
“How to Teach Academics, Even if You Don’t Know (or Care!) About the Content Yourself” with Amanda Bartle — practical strategies for teaching subjects outside your expertise, fostering independence, and making learning engaging for both you and your child.
“Less Stress, More Freedom: How Values-Based DIY Beats Boxed Curriculum” with Micarlé Callea — how to let your family values guide your curriculum choices, simplify planning, and homeschool with joy.
“Bringing Learning to Life: Designing a Literature-Based Curriculum” with Erin Hassett — how to build a curriculum rooted in living books, sparking curiosity and creating rich, flexible learning experiences.
“Homeschooling the Whole Bunch: Strategies for Multi-Level Home Education” with Shirley Erwee — how to teach multiple ages together, combine subjects, and maintain an engaging and independent learning rhythm.
In addition to these expert-led sessions, attendees will have access to:
