Would you like a quick overview of some of the ideas and concepts around this different format for education? We suggest checking out Unschooling Rules, by Clark Aldrich (foreword by Jeff Sandefer, founder of Acton Academy Austin). This straight forward book outlines many of the key principles of an infinity education in small, digestible bites. In just two hours, you can finish it cover-to-cover and will have a better understanding of whether or not an Infinity education is a good fit for your child.
