Frequently Asked Questions

What is BACH?

BACH stands for Bay Area Catholic Homeschoolers.  We are a support group for Catholic homeschooling families in the greater Clear Lake area of Texas.  We are not a co-op which means that we do not offer classes.

What area does BACH cover?

We have families from the following cities southeast of Houston: Pearland, Pasadena, Alvin, Santa Fe, Seabrook, Friendswood, League City, Nassau Bay, Clear Lake, and the Sagemont Area.

Most of our activities are in and around Friendswood, Texas, given its central location.

What does BACH do?

BACH offers support to families who are homeschooling.  There are numerous activities that occur during the year.  For example:  Mom's night out, field trips, teen activities, park days, liturgical celebrations, etc.

If you are looking for a way to meet other families, and find out more about homeschooling, BACH is a great opportunity for you.  There are many different families in BACH, who follow many different styles of homeschooling (Classical, Charlotte Mason, Unschooling, etc).  Each family does what is best for them, and we provide a community of support for all involved.

How much does it cost to join?

Dues are $12 per year per family to cover the cost of maintaining the website. Dues are paid in September.

What is the time commitment for a family?

There is no enforced time commitment.  You can be as involved as your family desires.  Your family can join the activities that appeal to you and fit your schedule, or you can jump in and help plan an event.

What are the advantages of joining?

You will have an instant connection with other homeschooling families.  One of our best features is the online "Conversations" which provide information and connection with other families.  This is where we connect as well as:

• Plan field trips

• Ask how to write a transcript for a high school student

• Share ideas on how to incorporate prayer in your homeschool day

• Seek recommendations for plumbers, doctors, etc.
