Our Story

Welcome to HomeschoolingwithDeen

I am Umma Yonis, the conception of HomeschoolingwithDeen evolved from years of witnessing and advocating for Muslim parents within the public school system as a Social worker leading a non-profit organization. During those years I witnessed an increasing number of families exhausted by the misalignment within the public school’s system, and choosing to remove their children from the public schools and into private Islamic schools; only to deal with new forms of micro-aggressions within the Muslim schools; HomeschoolingwithDeen does not condone or support race and culture based negative infiltration into the Muslim education.

As life went on and I started my own family, The question of how to educate children in an environment free from oppression and discrimination became a deep passion.

As my child got closer to school age I dedicated a large amount of time to developing, exploring, and conceptualizing the idea of alternative education systems outside the traditional mainstream school systems which lead me to choose Homeschool as a viable positive choice.

This process inspired the creation of  HomeschoolingwithDeen. HomeschoolwithDeen is a resource hub and community that aims to support Muslim families navigate the process of developing a homeschooling curriculum and framework that fits into their lifestyle.
