Help for You

* Would you like to discuss homeschooling, homework, educational issues, or your child’s learning with other parents, teachers, or administrators?
* Might you benefit from conversing with an expert teacher in a subject area that is not your strongest?
* Would you like to join a parents’ support network or a homeschooling organization?
* Do you want to know the legalities of homeschooling in Virginia?

Help for Your Child, Your Student

* Would you like your child to be able to ask questions of another teacher who is an expert in an area that is not your forté?
*
* Would it be nice if your child could get homework help from another teacher once in a while instead of you so you can do other things?
* Would you like your child to use the computer to get homework help answers using a site you know is safe?
