Military Homeschool Group
This is a source of information for those who use facebook.
This is a group for military families who choose to educate their children at home. We believe that there is no right approach or method when choosing to homeschool our children, but that each family has to do what is best for them. Please be respectful and keep posts relevant to things that pertain to homeschooling and/or military life. Please do not post any links or advertisements to your business. All disrespectful and irrelevant posts will be deleted immediately. Because of the nature of our lives and the uniqueness of being military homeschoolers, our goal is for this page to be kept private and only for military families who homeschool. As such, when a person requests to join this page, they will receive a private message from our Admin team first to ensure they are military and homeschooling.

Wild + Free
Henry David Thoreau wrote, “All good things are wild and free.”
This quote is the inspiration for the Wild + Free community because it depicts an emerging group of mothers and homeschoolers who want their children to not only receive a quality education, but also to experience the adventure, freedom, and wonder of childhood.
