Resources, by approach.
These links go to the publishers, free curricula, and reference desks families already use, and to parents and teachers who write about those programs. We do not sell their books, and we do not speak for them.

People near you
Co-ops and community days keep their own lists, and those lists change every season. These directories already search by place. A program’s campus finder lists that program. Inside the practice tools, a friend code compares progress with someone you already know, and a home state places you in a regional group of about 25. That is practice company.
HSLDA group searchCo-ops, sports, and support groups. Their search starts from a zip code.
Homeschool HallA free directory of co-ops, teams, clubs, and tutors. Some states are listed more fully than others.
