Homeschool Resource Centers

Homeschool resource centers (sometimes called "co-ops" or "support centers") provide homeschooling families with physical resources, classes, social interactions, and support. They are beneficial for subjects or activities that may be challenging to handle at home or benefit from group interaction.

Please note that the popularity or stature of a homeschool resource center can vary widely based on its area, the assistance it offers, and the precise needs of the local homeschool community. The following is a list of well-regarded or known homeschool centers or co-ops. They are not ranked, and the best fit will depend on individual family needs:

It's important to remember that the best homeschool resource centers or co-op will depend heavily on your family's specific needs, location, and the kind of support or interaction you're looking for. Before joining any co-op or center, it's a good idea to visit, understand their philosophy, see what classes and support they offer, and get feedback from other families who participate. Over time, newer centers or changes to existing ones may pop up. Always check the current status of a resource center before making a decision.
