Secular Homeschooling Program in Oregon?

Question

Does anyone know of a secular homeschooling coop or program in Oregon? My son is gifted and is very social, so some type of coop that meets weekly would be great. Also seeking recommendations for secular homeschooling curriculum. Thanks!

Malarkey.

The fact that some people can't see anything beyond their own pinhole world-view has nothing to do with the validity of home education.

These aren't actual programs or groups, but you'll have better luck finding out about things through them than through Answers.

Answer 4

Why secular homeschooling. Homeschooling should be world free. It should be your child learning from you and the Lord. I'm home schooled. And I learn all my lessons from my family. We are a very christian family. God and Jesus are our lives. And that's what the secular world has taken out of the schools today. That's why children can shoot, stab, and rape one another. I'm 15 years old, an I am happy to be in Christian Homeschooling. Want to learn more e-mail me. G.B.

Definitely check out the yahoo groups. It might be worth it too to visit some of your local homeschooling groups even if they are Christian, to see if there is an under-the-radar type of group going on. I know in Oklahoma we created our own group that was inclusive because the Christian groups were so EXclusive (not very Jesus like if you ask me)

Anyway, out of Oregon is one of my favorite blogs try this
