homeSchool Open House - 2025

Sunshine Individualized Learning was formed to help parents along their homeschooling journey by Rebecca Cumbie. As a Home Education Specialist, I am a Certified Teacher in Florida and have a diverse teaching background and experience. I understand and work with ALL homeschooling methods and philosophies. I have personal experience or professional experience with just about any type of homeschooling, including unschooling. Each child learns differently and deserves to be educated and evaluated in the manner in which they learn best.

We are part of the Wild + free organization which is based off the homeschool book. Meeting on a regular basis to encourage connections with each other and with nature. Meeting weekly + field trips couple Fridays a month.

Florida Driftwood Schoolers, Inc. is a non-profit homeschool organization.  FDS was formed out of a need for a quality secular homeschool cooperative in the Jacksonville area that is open and accepting to all.  We do not discriminate based on race, religion (or lack thereof), gender, sexual orientation, identity, educational philosophy, political views, etc.  We welcome all and ask that talks of political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and expression be kept personal and private to your family.  We also ask that you be open and accepting of others whose opinions and beliefs differ from yours.
