Feedback as requested. Comments are not intended to be critical in any way, just trying to give feedback since you asked for it on what would make the site more usable and immediately intuitive as someone not terribly familiar with home-schooling:
(1) You have a triple site-title (header, image and main page) which takes up a lot of space. You could also save space up top by pushing the copyright notice to the bottom of the page where it will be less aggressive. The prominence makes me wonder if you are worried about people stealing copy and might be off-putting to casual browsers.
(2) It took me a while to figure out what was on the site. Not because your description was wrong or inaccurate, but because the words "learn" and "freedom" are so generic that the combination didn't provide any substantive clue as to what was on the site until I looked at the site archive. It also made the first paragraph hard to scan. The titles of the subcategories seem vague. "School is Dead" is much catchier topic. Perhaps change the intro text to spike the reader's interest? :)
(3) CSS recommendations: try bumping up line-height to 1.6 for main text, and decrease both font-size and line height for blockquote elements to make the site more readable, and set quoted passages off from the main text.
