The DFW School-Free Education Zone for TEENS is a progressive, secular unschoolers' support group for parents/families of teens in the DFW Metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas. (We also have an auxilliary "teens-only" group for our kids.) As unschoolers, we believe that child-led learning is preferable to coerced curriculum-use. We welcome veeery relaxed eclectic home-learners or people contemplating unschooling. We are not a conservative school-at-home group and have little interest in talking about how to make Johnny finish his English paper; we seek, rather, to preserve or regain the natural joy and love of learning that is inherent in all human beings.

We are not a religious-oriented group, so we have no "statement of
faith." No one cares if you are Catholic or Hindu, Atheist or Pagan. (Religious fundamentalists/zealots/evangelists need not apply.) We have no board of directors, no dues, no business meetings, and no rules.

We have members of varied spiritual beliefs, lifestyles, and ethnic origins, and we celebrate and take joy in learning from eachother's differences.

We are based in the center of the Dallas/Ft. Worth/Denton triangle, and serve as a central meeting point for progressive-minded families of teens throughout the area. We network, and share information on anything of interest for our teens, including learning resources and opportunities, volunteerism, job and college prep for unschoolers, and, of course, social activities and FUN.
