Jubilee Schooling, is a term you may see floating around, some times it is also called Sabbath Schooling.
What it usually refers to is, schooling for so many weeks in a block, and then taking so much time off.
Mostly it's schooling in a 6 week block, and then taking 1 week (the 7th week) off.
During that 6 week block, parents choose many ways of implementing how many days a week they will school. From 3 days a week to 6 days a week. Depending on how the family wants to do it. Then takes the 7th week completely off. But, it could also be 7 weeks on and 1 week off, or 5 weeks on and 1 week off, 5 weeks on and 2 weeks off. What ever works for their family!
For my family, we school 4 to 5 days a week. For 6 weeks and take a week off. Sometimes that week though turns into a few weeks! haha I like to do school though really for 4 days a week in our home, then 1 day a week community service in the morning (read field service) and a field trip in the afternoon. But, we are still honing this in our own home. And then 1 week off.
Some families. use this method and school year around. Others still use this method and school 8 to 9 months a year.
We are kind of year around homeschoolers, but do take off a lot of weeks in the summer, and any time we really need to the rest of the year.
Remember this is YOUR homeschool, and in the majority of states, it's up to you how many hours, and how many days, and how you execute such, completely! Completely in your power. You do not have to recreate institutionalized schooling in any manner what so ever when you homeschool. Find what works for your family, the rhythm and method that works the best in your home, and what is perfect for your family, regardless of what others and especially institutionalized schools do.
