Best Homeschooling Associations

All parents have the right to home school their children. Sometimes, parents run into legal issues with local authorities on the matter and they do not know where to go to get help. Homeschooling is also a tough task so there are times when parents need support in terms of curriculum and other resources. Fortunately, there are many home school associations that work to uphold that right and provide support to parents who choose to home school their children. In this article, we will look at the best homeschool associations.

HSLDA

The Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit organization committed to protect the rights of parents to take charge of their children’s education. Founded in March 1983, HSLDA only consisted of a small group of member families. At that time, homeschooling was still in its infancy. Today, HSLDA has more than 60 staff members with its headquarters located in Purcellville, Virginia. HSLDA advocates on many fronts, including the legal front, Capitol Hill, state legislatures, and the media.
