When we started homeschooling, we spent an embarrassing amount of time piecing together basic information that should have been easy to find. What are the actual laws in our state? What curriculum works for a kid who hates sitting still? What does a real homeschool day look like — not the Pinterest version?
The resources that existed were either outdated, buried in forums, scattered across a hundred different sites, or written in legalese that was impossible to parse. We figured there had to be a better way to organize it. So we built one.
"A smart friend who's already done the research — that's what we wanted this to be. Not a textbook. Not a sales pitch. Just honest, useful information for families figuring this out."
We're not lawyers, and nothing here is legal advice. State homeschool laws change, and while we do our best to keep the database current, we always recommend verifying with your state's homeschool association or Department of Education before making legal decisions. We link to both on every state page.
We're not a school, an accrediting body, or affiliated with any curriculum publisher, homeschool organization, or government agency. We're independent.
We're not philosophically neutral — we think parents have the right to direct their children's education, full stop. But we're also not a tribe. Classical, Charlotte Mason, unschooling, online, eclectic — this site is built to be useful to all of them. What works for your family is what matters.
We're a small team of homeschooling parents based in Idaho. We started this site because we needed it ourselves, and we're building it the way we'd want any resource to be built: honest, organized, and actually maintained.
If something is wrong, outdated, or missing — tell us. We genuinely want to fix it.
