Welcome
Hi, new and veteran homeschooling educators!
Homeschooling has grown immensely, and there is so much information online that we would be silly to reinvent the wheel by writing our own “take” on it and giving yet another page of advice. Instead, we have found some really great online articles and resources that may help you in your homeschooling journey.
We will continually update this list and its categories to help you quickly find what you want. We, of course, cannot vouch for all of these sites; you will have to decide for yourself if they are helpful to you. (If you find a link that doesn’t work or would like it added to the site, please email it to fds@floridadriftwoodschoolers.org, and we will check on/add the link.)
Thanks, and Enjoy!
