Who We Are

Families committed to growing along unique and individual paths, and interested in sharing that experience with other families.

Who We Are Not

Highly structured group who can provide families with "the answers" or "the way" to homeschool.

Group Communication

Group communication is done through our Yahoo Group. If you would like to plan a group outing, notify the group of an interesting event, or pose a question to the group, this is the place to do it. Before posting your first message to the group, you will need to register as a member. You can also choose how you will receive group messages (by visiting web page, each message emailed to you, periodic digest emailed to you, etc...).
