Every homeschooled child deserves a quality education in a loving, safe, and supportive home.

We believe homeschooling can provide a positive, empowering education. We conduct research, advocate for evidence-based homeschooling policy, and develop resources that help parents and children succeed. We are a child advocacy nonprofit founded and run by individuals who were homeschooled, focused on the rights of children who are homeschooled.
