The original function of this network was connecting families together. An effort, which began with five families in January of 1993, has developed into a growing network of hundreds Catholic families in Pennsylvania. Besides connecting families together in the same area, families who are homeschooling under unusual circumstances can be linked together. Please note that the name list is not shared, sold, bartered, or given out in any other manner for any purpose. Names of those subscribing/member families who have expressly given us consent to do so are the only names which are given to other local subscribing/member families when requested.

Valley Homeschoolers is located in the Upper Perkiomen Valley in SE Pennsylvania. Areas close to us are East Greenville, Quakertown, Emmaus, & Allentown. We all homeschool, but we don't all use the same methods. Some homeschool traditionally, others use the un-schooling approach, & others cyber-school. We are not affiliated with any particular religion, however, most of us are Christians. Most of us have children over the age of 8, but not all. There are many teens in our group, making us a bit different than a lot of other support groups. We've organized homeschool matinees at our local theater whenever an appropriate movie is showing (pretty much monthly). We've hosted a homeschool prom & other dances, in conjunction with The Master's Academy. We meet frequently on Mondays, as well as have ice cream socials & once a month bowling. Our goal is simply to support one another, provide each other, & others, with information about homeschooling, & get our kids together as much as possible. We network with other groups in our area, & we welcome new members. Even if you don't want to join, but are looking for information, please feel free to contact us!
