To my fellow parents: if you are committed to giving your children the best chance of succeeding now and in their future, The 5-Hour School Week is the guide that will show you how to identify the best educational model for your family. Highly recommended.

As a school founder and career educator, my life is dedicated to developing our youth based on the world we live in, as opposed to the world we lived in. Homeschooling provides an unrivaled opportunity to develop a growth mindset for our kids, and The 5-Hour School Week is a great example of that very reality. Aaron and Kaleena have put together a must-read manifesto for any family, whether you homeschool now or are thinking of it for the future.

If you're considering homeschooling and have some fears around it, read this book! I love how intimately Aaron and Kaleena share their family's experience going from a family entrenched in the rat race of traditional schooling to living life on their own terms with the 5-hour school week. Allow this book to bring you encouragement, inspiration, and some practical how-tos. As a homeschooler myself, I'm walking away from reading this book with a fresh perspective on our journey and can't wait to start implementing our own 5-hour school week!

After spending time with the Amuchastegui children, who are kind, curious, and full of joy, that was the proof that the 5-hour school week system was working! What on earth were they doing? This book has the answers.

The 5-Hour School Week focuses on the most important lessons and implements them by following the child--an art most of society has lost.

While creating the 5-hour school week, Aaron and Kaleena have created a family dynamic that is fun to watch and inspirational to follow. This is a must-read for families considering homeschooling or other nontraditional educational avenues.
