Calvert Community

Linking Home Schooling Families

At Calvert, we work hard to create a sense of community for our home schooling families. Though every family's experiences and location is different, each family shares a common bond—the Calvert program.

Whether you are home schooling in a small rural community, a big city, a friend country, or in a boat sailing around the world, chances are that other children are tackling the same Calvert lesson as you each day. We try to build on this commonality of experience by giving our families a number of ways to share with one another. In all of these programs, we hope to build a sense of community among people who value their use of Calvert School’s program.

Parent Community

Student Community

Networking

The Calvert Networking Program allows us to connect families interested in homeschooling with Calvert families in their area currently using our courses. Networking is a great way for families considering the use of Calvert materials to discuss with a family how the program works and to possibly inspect course materials.
