So, you're thinking about home schooling your children next year. Congratulations! Here are three websites I recommend most highly as you begin your journey.

1. http://www.family.org/parenting/Schooling/
(Cut and paste the address above into your browser, or click on the Focus on Your Child link to the right, then click on the schooling tab.) This is a section from the Focus on the Family website. You will find several helpful articles here, including one that helps you determine your family's best method of education: public, private, home school or some combination.

2. www.hslda.org
(Link to your right.)This is the official website of the Home School Legal Defense Association. You can find everything you need to know about the laws in your state for home schooling and the legal climate for home schooling and parental rights nationwide.

3. www.homeschooliowa.org
This is the home of NICHE: Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators. If you live in Iowa, this is a must-visit site. Everything you need to know, including information about the upcoming state-wide home school conference on June 7-8, can be found here.

Happy Home Schooling!
