FAQs



Q:

Who is Homeschool First?

A:

Homeschool First is a support group for families who have chosen to educate their children at home. Our mission is to aid every member in becoming a whole person, and to that end, we offer community events, so that we may build relationships; academics, so that we may build knowledge of ourselves and our world; and service opportunities, so that we may contribute to the people around us.

Our foremost purpose is to serve each other in all things. Our other purposes include offering classes for preschool through high school, field trips, social events for our members, themed “sanity” meetings for moms, and get-togethers for dads. We would like to offer city-wide events such as science fairs, spelling bees, and geography bees.

We are not affiliated with any church or other home education group. We are supported solely by annual membership dues.
