A Peculiar Existence
Home. Childhood. Education. The world.
We write about secular homeschooling, global and decolonizing education, books, family life, and the questions worth asking about what children learn.

Homeschool
Curriculum, teaching, planning, multiple ages, and making education work inside an actual home.
Reading Lists · Reviews · Literature
Books
Books we love, books we question, books that take us somewhere unfamiliar, and books worth putting into children’s hands.

Home & Family
The curriculum may have a scope and sequence. Family life has other ideas.
Meet Peculiar School
Built from the ideas we explore here
A Peculiar Existence asks questions about education. Peculiar School turns many of those ideas into curriculum.
Peculiar School is a homeschool curriculum developed by A Peculiar Existence. It is where educational questions become courses, lessons and learning experiences built for use at home.
WE BELIEVE
Education was never supposed to make the world smaller.
The world is enormous, interconnected, contradictory, beautiful, difficult, and worth studying on its own terms. Children are capable of understanding that complexity.
