“People should be free to find or make for themselves the kinds of educational experience they want their children to have.” – John Holt

A parent support group for homeschool families in beautiful SW Florida, for over 20 years!

We are glad that you have heard about our group and are taking the time to learn a little about us. 

Gulfcoast Homeschool Association is an association of families who have chosen to educate their children at home.  We meet on a regular basis to discuss homeschooling, share common concerns, and provide fellowship.  Member families cooperatively volunteer to organize the association’s educational and social activities.  To avoid potential conflicts of ideology, the content of all events will be clearly designated in advance by the individuals responsible for the planning of each event. 

This is an inclusive group.  We welcome all families regardless of their religious or political views, educational or parenting philosophies and personal lifestyle choices.  We encourage members to focus on similarities and respect differences.  We aspire to promote an atmosphere of kindness and tolerance and we believe that our group is enriched by the diversity of our membership. 

Members are welcome to belong to as many homeschool organizations as they choose.

This organization is a voluntary association of individuals and families and is a member of the Florida Parent Educators Association (FPEA). 

Look around a little and enjoy your visit.  We hope you choose to join us and share our homeschooling journey!
