Support

Often the key to whether a family can successfully homeschool is the type of support they receive. Unfortunately, we don’t always receive encouragement from our family or community. Connecting with other homeschoolers is the best way to make new friends, and to get information, ideas, and support. We’ve compiled support group resources and offer simple ways to connect with other homeschoolers through email groups, website forums, and in your community. You’ll also find information on local and state events, cultural and educational institutions, field trip ideas, tutors, bookstores, and much, much more.
