Pennsylvania Homeschool Associations
Most every state with a large and active homeschool population will also have at least one organization dedicated to supporting the rights of those families. Each statewide homeschool association will have a different focus and approach, but in general, will be dedicated to providing resources and information that help homeschooling families make the most of their educational experience. On this page you will find information on Pennsylvania’s dedicated homeschool organization and discover some of the ways your family can benefit from it.
