I'm not a homeschooler but I would suggest meeting a well-rounded set of requirement and spend extra time on special passions/interests. I like the idea of following their lead a bit and then provide a book (or whatever opportunity) and leave it around for them to pick it up or see where it takes them.

You may want to look at some Montessori ideas for some insights in self driven learning.
