HOW do I Start?

How do I start homeschooling? Research. Discuss it with your family. Attend a start-up meeting (see below) and once you’ve decided that homeschooling’s the right choice for you and your children, start browsing the curriculum. There are also several homeschool groups available that offer advice, legalities, and assistance to help you begin the adventure of homeschooling in the Austin Metro.
