Maybe you've had the same homeschooling experience as us. Homeschooling our children alone was hard work. Days often ended in tears, tantrums or protests.  We needed a village. These are some benefits of homeschooling in a community.

​

• Academic advice, support, diversity or expertise in teaching

• Socialization opportunities with same-age peers

• Exposure to curricula, resources, and ideas from other homeschoolers

• Structure and direction for the homeschool

• Extra-curricular activity options

• Emotional support from other homeschoolers

• Social networking

• "Traditional" schooling benefits such as, experiencing a classroom setting, parent/teacher conferences, and music concerts.
