Enki Education is not very well known of. It is rich with multicultural stories and teaches a love of the natural world. However, the homeschool curriculum itself is Waldorf based and quite holisitc. There is also a lot of art integrated into this curriculum, as well as a lot of conferences, discussion groups and training programs for parents. It also nurtures the integration of body, heart and mind. Therefore, a lot of parents believe that this is a great way to cultivate educational excellence, confidence and competence.
Since all of this is done with a great deal of flexibility, it can be easily adapted to fit each family's own individual needs. So, it becomes more than a curriculum. It becomes a way of life. This is especially true since it really values community and family.
While all of this sounds really great, some Christian families may be turned off by this method because it is Buddhist in thought. Plus, this system was named after the Sumerian god of wisdom and water: Enkei. However, it is flexible enough to adapt to the special needs of Christian families. There are some Christian families who prefer not to work with it at all though.

I had never heard of this, and I've been homeschooling for years!
It's a newer homeschooling curriculum.
I use it and I have to say the philosophy is beautiful but a lot to learn about how to implement and about myself as a person. This is a learning and growing for both parent and child. The path is ever unwinding and so much to discover. I am so happy that i found ENKI as our homeschool adventure as of this point.
