Homeschool Support Groups

There are many Home Education support groups all over the world. Just like all aspects of homeschooling, some parents use their local groups and some do not. Drop in on a group's meeting, they are happy to share and answer any questions you may have. If you do not seem to mesh with a group, check around. There are new groups starting quite often. You can also start your own group!

Choose the country you'd like more information about and then click on name to send them an email. If there's a state or country you would like information about that is not listed, send me an email and I will try to find you a contact person. You can also do a websearch using your favorite search engine.

If you would like your homeschool support group listed here, please see this page: Support Group Update Form.
