75 Suggestions for Naming Your Homeschool

Trying to choose a name for your homeschool can be really challenging. If you are having a tough time deciding on a homeschool name, here are some suggestions for names that you may want to consider.

Homeschool names that include features of nature - Many schools around the country use features of nature in their names. If you think you might want a homeschool name that does the same, consider the following suggestions:

Alpine Lakes; Woodbine; Beaver Creek; White Salmon; Home Valley; Buck Creek; Lakeview; Fox Hollow; Bridgeport; Deer Pond; Pine River; Wood River; River Stone; Clear Creek; Round Valley; Spring Glen; Turtle Creek; Duck Pond; Elk Harbor; Fern Hill; Rogue River; Castle Rock; Willow Glen; Golden Valley; Oaks Hollow; Spruce Mountain.

Homeschool names that are derived from Native American tribes and locations: If Native American culture and history are of particular interest to you, then you may want to consider incorporating a word that was derived from a Native American tribe or homeland into your homeschool name. Here are some suggestions:

Iroquois; Chippewa; Mohawk; Narragansett; Mohegan; Hopi; Navajo; Dakota; Wetonka; Sioux; Crow; Ottumwa; Chumash; Saratoga; Cherokee; Ottawa; Cheyenne; Omaha; Klamath; Mojave; Shasta; Apache; Comanche; Pueblo; Zuni.

Additionally, you might want to research the specific tribe(s) who inhabited the area you now live in, so that you can incorporate some element of their culture into your homeschool name.

Homeschool names that feature significant locations or events in American History - It's not uncommon for homeschoolers to be extremely well educated in American history, and this subject is often a favorite. It seems natural then, that some homeschooling families would most prefer to design their homeschool name around a significant location, person, or event in American history. If your family falls into this category, consider incorporating one of the following into your homeschool name:

Pilgrim Heights; Plymouth; Standish; Bradford; Mayflower; Jamestown; John Smith; Pocahontas; Salem; John Adams; George Washington; Thomas Jefferson; Paul Revere; Benjamin Franklin; Abraham Lincoln; Brady; Union; Gettysburg; Oregon Trail; Lewis & Clarke; Sacagawea; Donner; Miners.

Incorporate your homeschool style into your school name - Once you have decided on a school name, whether it's derived from an important time in history or a feature of nature, you may want to incorporate your homeschool style into your name, as well. Adding words like Homeschool, Academy, Institute, Prep, or just plain School to the end of your homeschool name might be enough for you. However, some families will want to weave their particular style in as well, such as eclectic, Montessori, or Christian.

As you can see, once you get some ideas going, finding a homeschool name isn't such a challenge anymore. In fact, the challenge might now be narrowing your name down to just one from all of the great choices there are!
