MHLA eGroup
The Massachusetts Home Learning Association (MHLA) connects over 1200 homeschooling families. We are the Commonwealth's oldest statewide homeschool organization. MHLA represents no specific religion, political party or educational philosophy but acts as an information clearinghouse and advocacy organization.
MHLA encourages homeschoolers to maintain contact with a homeschool support
network of some kind, either in person or via the Internet. As a service
to the homeschooling community, MHLA maintains the following list containing
contact information for web-based support groups. Any homeschool support
egroup may be listed here by emailing a brief group description with contact
information (as you wish it to appear here) to the MHLA.
We know from experience that each support group has its own unique character;
you may need to search out several groups before you find one that is
a good match for your family's needs. For further support, you can talk
to other homeschoolers in your area and across the state by joining the
MHLA email discussion list at Yahoo!Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/group/masshomelearningassoc/.
The listing of a support egroup below
does not imply MHLA endorsement of that group. MHLA is not associated
with any of these independent homeschooling support networks.
