The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (VaHomeschoolers) is an effective association of individuals, families, and Virginia-based homeschool organizations and businesses.

The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers avoids issues of a religious or partisan political nature. We impose no statement of faith or philosophy as a condition of membership or as a condition for service on our governing board. ALL homeschoolers' interests are served when we are seen by government, news media, and the public as a diverse people united in our love of our children and in our valuing freedom to teach and learn at home. VaHomeschoolers is therefore inclusive of all homeschoolers regardless of philosophy, politics, or theology. We are a representative statewide homeschool organization.
VaHomeschoolers' board of directors is elected by the membership. All board members, editors, and officers are volunteers--none are paid. We provide a financial report annually for the members.
VaHomeschoolers monitors government on matters of importance to Virginia homeschoolers, from local school board policies to regulations and laws. VaHomeschoolers lobbies all levels of government including the Virginia General Assembly. VaHomeschoolers prefers communication to confrontation but will employ either as needed. We believe in parent-directed education: parents must be permitted to make the decisions regarding the education of their children.
VaHomeschoolers provides news, views, and information to Virginia homeschoolers and homeschool organizations. VaHomeschoolers provides speakers to homeschool and other groups, and we provide spokespersons to news media. VaHomeschoolers keeps its members informed through various means as appropriate -- regular newsletters, bulletins and other special mailings, and e-mail.
VaHomeschoolers supports local homeschool organizations. Local groups are sometimes called "support groups," or "networks." Local home education groups offer practical advice, friendship, and educational and social activities for children, from field trips to spelling bees to science fairs to teen bowling. VaHomeschoolers encourages individual home educators to become part of shared-interest group in your area. Click here to find groups in your area.
VaHomeschoolers is neutral on matters of religion, partisan politics, and non-homeschooling issues. VaHomeschoolers is here to serve you. We welcome your suggestions, questions, or comments; please e-mail VaHomeschoolers through the button on our Contacts page.
