Find Your Homeschool Community
One of the greatest strengths of homeschooling is the vibrant community of families supporting each other. Connect with local co-ops, hybrid schools, and classical education groups to share the journey.
Understanding Co-ops and Hybrids
Homeschool co-ops and hybrid schools offer the best of both worlds: personalized home education combined with community learning experiences.
Parent-run programs where different parents volunteer to teach topics they're passionate about. Co-ops typically meet weekly and provide:
- •Shared teaching responsibilities among parents
- •Group classes in subjects like science, history, and arts
- •Socialization opportunities for children
- •Support network for parents
- •Usually start at ages 5-7 (compulsory education age)
A combination of homeschooling and traditional education where students attend classes part-time at a physical location. Hybrid schools offer:
- •Professional instruction 2-3 days per week
- •Home learning on remaining days
- •Structured curriculum and accountability
- •Balance of flexibility and structure
- •Ideal for working parents or specific subject expertise

"Finding our homeschool co-op changed everything. The kids have friends who share their values, we have a support network of like-minded parents, and we're learning together as a community. It's the best of both worlds."
