Homeschooling Groups
Support Groups, e-Groups, Co-ops, Umbrella schools, Organizations, Newsletters, Magazines, and other networking tools for homeschoolers in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Many people, including me, will give opinions on the PA homeschooling law.  I believe that everyone should read the law for themselves, read a few opinions about it, and decide for themselves what approach makes sense for their family.

The PA Home Education Law

I might be wrong! I am not a lawyer! Your circumstances may be different! This page, and others on this site, are not intended as legal advice. School districts vary considerably in their interpretation of the home education law. Please double-check legal information with appropriate sources. In particular, the PA Dept. of Ed. may be helpful.

Alas, GWS has ceased publication. My favorite homeschooling magazine. Not a how-to magazine, rather it's full of articles from parents and kids about their lives - ideas and problems that have come up, what they've tried, and how it worked for them. Thoughtful and wise.

Home Education Magazine
A nice magazine. Preschool through college. Great resources column. Completely different from GWS.
