ENOCH was formed with the conviction that the primary responsibility for the education of children rests with their parents/guardians.

Emphasis is on group activities with respect, compassion, and tolerance toward others. Our goal is that ENOCH will be a blessing to each and every member.

Families participate in member-run activities such as Parent Enrichment Meetings, field trips, extracurricular classes, physical education, parties, park days, teen activities and more.By joining ENOCH, you and your children will gain great support and new friendships.

We are an online community of homeschoolers who share information, resources, and online conversation as well as planning classes, activities, field trips, and other ways to get together with other local homeschooling families. All area homeschoolers are welcome, even if they belong to other homeschooling groups or activities already. PATH serves as a way to unite the Flagler homeschooling community and provides connection for homeschoolers across group lines. We are not a religious board nor are we a secular board; all homeschoolers are welcome to participate regardless of style, philosophy, or methods used.

To protect our members, and especially our children, we ask that all new members receive a "referral" from another PATH member before joining our group. In the alternative (if you don't already know someone on PATH), you can meet one of us at some upcoming activity. When you request membership, please let us know what would work best for you.

Members are invited to check out and ADD to our databases and links sections. Visit our calendar often for homeschooler activities and add your own, too.

Thank you for visiting PATH!

Please be kind to each other and do not use this list for commercial purposes or anything you wouldn't want the kids reading over your shoulder.

Other than those caveats, all I ask is that the parents of Florida Unschoolers students use this list for networking in whatever ways develop that are helpful to you!

We are a homeschool group for homeschoolers who are either looking for free educational curriculum or have good used books and other educational items they want to give away free.

Post to the group the homeschool books, or homeschool material that you are no longer in need of. We do ask that you only post anything that pertains to homeschooling. Please do not resell items and or request material for profit. We want to recycle all material so homeschool families can financially afford the wonderful benefits of homeschooling.

We are a group of homeschoolers that want to try to meet up with other homeschooling families to plan boating outings throughout the state of Florida.

We can discuss any subject and how it relates to Florida such as history, science, geography, field trips, unit studies, social studies, art etc.

*This list is owned by a Christian. However, I will not allow any religious debating. This group is for discussions, teaching and learning about Florida in our homeschools.

There is no discussion on this list, it is simply a searchable archives of FL home school support groups - sort of like a yellow pages listing for support groups.

If you run a homeschooling support group that is not listed on this page, please send in the information about your group. Be sure to include as much information as possible, including contact information, location served, type of group, fee, etc. All posts are moderated, so that this group remains simply as a listing of ads for the various support groups in Florida.

We are for traveling homeschooling families (RVers/Campers/big rigs): those whose home is on the road; those that travel for meet ups or weekends; and those homeschoolers that dream of when their life will be on the road! As homeschoolers, we are not limited with our educational journeys--we're not stuck in non-moving buildings. We can learn about this state by exploring, and seeing it up close and personal through multi-day events and overnight trips for homeschoolers. Events posted should be multi-day events, keeping in mind that many families may be considering substantial travel time to attend these events.

I'm hoping that most of the events/meet-ups posted will be created by (and for) homeschooling families living in, or wishing to travel through Florida. Activities will be located throughout Florida to allow for homeschoolers all over the state to participate. We can share traveling information or to let one another know when camping/RVing at certain times and locations in order to have the opportunity to meet up with other families in the state.

This list is for attendance reminders and administrative announcements only.

If your children are enrolled, you will then be subbed to this list.

This networking page was set up recently: Florida Unschoolers - Radical Unschoolers Network. This is not affiliated with the school but may be a good way to meet others.

Please note that there is a support group also called Florida Unschoolers. It is a fun way for unschoolers to get together but is not affiliated with the school. For more information about the support group, contact Stan Lubowicki through this link: Florida Unschoolers, The FUN Group.

There is also a Yahoo discussion list for parents of Florida Unschoolers students. See this link for more info: FlaUnNet.

There is now a Freecyle group for Florida's homeschoolers. Please visit the Yahoo group for more information -- FLHomeschoolingFreecycle. Florida Unschoolers is not affiliated with this Freecyle group but it sure sounds like a generous and timely idea!

There are no elected leaders, and we are completely volunteer in nature. Our primary purpose is creating learning opportunities (field trips) and social gatherings for our children. Those who have an idea for an activity for the group, take all the necessary actions to make it happen, and others participate if it suits their family.

As a group, our “personality” is relaxed and eclectic. Some of our members' interests include John Holt's principles of growing without schooling, attachment parenting, and healthy living. We tend to be self-directed in our approach to educating our children. Our children are respected as complete human beings. It is important to us to arrange monthly events that Dads can attend too.

If you're frightened or unsure of how to unschool your child, we'll help you with that. It's far easier than any other method. You must remember…your kids are most likely far more intelligent than you think they are. Unschooling is simple, safe, and fun.

IS IT A GOOD FIT? Florida Unschoolers is NOT for you if you are looking for a group that is highly structured, academically focused, requires participation, or that asks for a statement of faith. If you're looking to be led, (rather than to be one of many, all moving in a similar direction,) this is not the group for you.

Pagan home learners of all types are welcome to join - unschooling, classical education, school-at-home, Waldorf, Montessori, box curriculum, secular, eclectic, etc.

I would like to see this group evolve into a support system and an extended family for ourselves and other non-traditional homeschoolers. This is not "my" group, it is our group. It is open for homeschool support and the special needs of pagan families: help with finding pagan, secular or alternative curriculums, pagan parenting discussions, play groups, field trips, family rituals & traditions, holidays - seasonal celebrations, Sabbats, blots, etc., drum circles, and other pagan-friendly events.

Please join our group with an introduction about yourself and your family and post freely, kindly remember that no flaming will be tolerated.

We offer a monthly Gathering, field trips, and anything else parents want to make happen!

***For security reasons, membership to GTHS requires approval.***

This is a support group for Buddhist homeschool families in the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast region -- from Lake Charles to Pensacola. Here we can talk about how we home-school with Buddhist ethics in mind. How do we live the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path in the Culture of the South?

Eventually, we will also plan a yearly retreat for Buddhists and home school families in the Gulf Coast region. Also perhaps we will be able to meet more frequently at field trips and home school events.
