Coordinates a parent support group for parents who homeschool.

Mutual support groups for parents who share a common characteristic or circumstance such as being single parents, dual career parents, multiple birth parents, parents with children who are out of control, or parents of children with disabilities, who come together for educational and social purposes as well as for mutual support. Meeting formats may include in-person, telephone or Internet options.

Parent Support Groups

Programs that provide information about different approaches families can take to home-based education; homeschooling curriculum materials; consultation regarding learning styles, monitoring and assessing students and other aspects of teaching; academic help; tutorial services, as needed; and other forms of support for parents who are homeschooling their children. Included are school districts that support homeschooling by providing parents with curriculum, textbooks and even a space to meet with other homeschool students. Some schools also allow homeschool students to enroll part time. These students can study core subjects at home, and then enroll in elective classes at a nearby public, private or charter school. There may also be options for homeschool students to participate in sports or other extracurricular activities.
