Homeschool support groups help families create connections and provide options for home
educators to promote social skill development. Families in these groups often go on playdates,
field trips, or other group activities. Some groups will facilitate special events where they share
curriculums, spelling bees, science fairs, and graduation ceremonies. These groups can be a great
opportunity to receive support and academic advice from other parents who are taking the same
route. Having a support group for you and your child can enable them to experience staples of
public education: prom, graduation, club participation, sports, etc.
