The purpose of the IAUnschoolers list is to support parents who wish to discover and apply unschooling principles to their children's whole life. Whole-life or radical unschooling encompasses, at its core, an atmosphere of trust, freedom, joy and deep respect for who a child is. We embrace unschooling as a mindful lifestyle as well as a philosophy of natural learning.

This list takes unschooling beyond academics and explores its principles of respect and individual freedom as they apply to our children's entire lives.

This list is for providing information and resources for Iowans who want to practice peaceful parenting and radical unschooling.

All new potential members will be sent an introductory questionnaire that must be completed before their membership will be approved.
