General Info

You shall teach [the Word of God] diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. ~ Deuteronomy 6:7-9

Wondering how to start homeschooling in Illinois? Has the COVID-19 crisis suddenly turned you into a “homeschooler”?

Research Facts about Homeschooling

Homeschooling – home education or home-based education – has grown from nearly extinct in the United States in the 1970s to over 2.5 million school-age students. NHERI focuses on homeschooling research, homeschool facts, homeschool fast facts, and in-depth scholarly articles.

Illinois Law

In Illinois, we enjoy the freedom to shape the school day and curriculum to each child’s specific needs and talents. Illinois government does not require testing, evaluation, or special oversight. Parents are NOT required to administer standardized testing, but you MAY choose to do so.

Legislative Task Force

Our desire with Legislative Task Force is four-fold as it relates to our political/community involvement here in Illinois:

  • Nurture
  • Align
  • Preserve
