We get requests all the time from people
– interested to homeschool
– starting on the journey but not sure what to do next
– who are expats looking to be part of a local homeschool community
Get to our Links page and contact a relevant online community that would be of help. You would have so many questions that one email cannot answer or unpack. A homeschool community – whether it is focused on a religion, demography or interest, would be the place.
If you cannot find one that suits you, START ONE. It’s easy. Create a Facebook Group and add one or two people know. Let us know. We’ll put it up on the Links page so that others can join in too.
All the best!
