Our mission is to build up Catholic families and culture by providing support and encouragement to homeschool families for the greater glory of God, under the kingship of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and with faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
We see this mission arising from the sacrament of marriage and parents’ solemn obligation to educate their offspring and be the “primary and principal educators of their children,”(Vatican Council II, Gravissimum Educationis, 3).
We aim to fulfill this mission by providing community-building opportunities for the whole family and intellectual and spiritual resources for homeschool parents.
We welcome families who choose to spend most of their academic days in the home building a domestic church—where children first learn and practice their Catholic faith and where parents promote growth in holiness through a school of virtue and Christian charity. (CCC 1666)
Our hope is that through this domestic church, families will not only raise good citizens for society, but also cooperate in bringing all souls to God’s Kingdom.

This guideline is based on common practices within online homeschool communities and principles of Christian charity and etiquette.
Business Directory Guidelines
These guidelines aim to foster a spirit of community support and uphold Catholic values within the homeschool group's business directory.
Field Trip Guidelines
When organizing field trips or events for a Catholic homeschool group, follow reccomended guidelines that prioritize safety, clear communication, and the spiritual mission of the group. Our guidelines cover everything from the planning phase to post-event etiquette.
