Finding Support

CHN provides this information to foster community among homeschoolers in Connecticut, and has no direct affiliation with any of the listed groups. CHN is not responsible for the content of the individual websites and newsletters listed by support groups. Please be sure to ask if membership fees are required.

Groups which meet based on location (towns)
Groups which meet based on a philosophy rather than location

You can also receive support through online forums, including CHN's message boards or Connecticut's statewide homeschool Yahoo Group.
