Beginning to Homeschool

You've made the decision to homeschool. What do you do next?

Laws & Legalities
Take the steps necessary to homeschool legally according to your regional laws.

Deschooling
Help understanding the need for downtime, to decompress after a poor school experience before you really understand the freedom homeschooling can bring.

Support Groups
Meet with other homeschool families in your area or with concerns similar to your own. Exchange tips and ideas with experienced homeschoolers.

Field Trips
Some call it Autoschooling as we learn on the go, visiting historic sites, science and art museums, civic monuments, and more. Get outside and learn what your community has to offer.

Records and Reports
Our free Excel Planner and Record Keeper is updated for 2010-2011. Plan, record, and even "bump" plans to another day. Adds up time spent in each activity. Include active links if you want.

The ONLY Homeschool Site with Revenue Sharing

Free Blogs with BuddyPress

A2Z Homeschool Community
Come start a blog for yourself, your support group, or to showcase your children's writing and activities. Come talk about your new homeschool book or the product or service you'd like homeschoolers to hear about. Buddy Press is like Facebook, and interfaces with Facebook if you'd like it to. But as it stands, it is a great way to connect with your homeschool friends nearby or all over the world. Your can form your own groups, such as for your local support group. While the content of A to Z Home's Cool will remain here, and be maintained, new articles and content will be developed on the new social network site, A2Zhomeschool.com. There are a ton of templates and plugins to chose from. The new site has a page rank of 4 already. It is completely searchable from the main A to Z site, so your content is almost instantly found: no waiting in the Sandbox for Google to find your site. We share Adsense revenue if you set up an account with Google.

Search All Top Homeschool Sites Right Here!

We are now using the Google Collaborative Search Engine. Now you will be able to search not only this site, but also the A2ZHomeschool Blogs AND other homeschool sites which agree to also set up such a search on their site to find relevant pages on THIS site as well as their own. As the weeks go on, you'll find more and more sites relevant to homeschoolers will show up in your on-site searches, not only here but on our collaborative sites, too. Many of the members of the Homeschool Webmasters Yahoo Group are modifying their sites to get ready for this change. You may now refine the search results to look at just A to Z resources, just the Sponsors, or just the Collaborators.
