• Homeschooling in Arkansas

  Arkansas is home to many caves, national park areas and several global corporations. Are you considering this state as the home of your school?   I have searched the web for some resources that help a beginner to start homeschooling. Here is what I have found for you.　 Homeschool laws and official sites: HSLDA　　 A legal analysis of the laws in Arkansas Arkansas Department of Education　 This is the main page for the state’s department of education. Home School Office of Arkansas  This page from the state’s educational department provides specific information for homeschoolers. Support Groups Home Educators of Arkansas The Education Alliance Home Educators of Greater Little Rock North West Arkansas Christian Home Educators Association Curriculum and Material Supply Sources No stores specifically catering to homeschools could be found.   Please remember that I do not operate a homeschool in the state of Arkansas. I have compiled this information to help those who are considering homeschool. Please check to be sure this information is accurate.   Posted Jul 15 2009, 07:51 AM by Brandy with no comments Filed under: homeschool support groups, how to homeschool in Arkansas, homeschooling law
