Welcome!

Dallas County Area Home Education is intended for parent home educators in Buffalo, Missouri and the surrounding towns, communities and counties. These include Louisburg, Goodson, Urbana, Tunas, Lead Mine, Celt, Winchester Gap, Bennett Spring, Windyville, Long Lane, Charity, March, Elkland, Fair Grove, Foose, Halfway as well as the following neighboring counties; Hickory, Polk, Laclede, Camden, Webster & Greene.

Home educators, whether just starting out, homeschoolers for a few years or seasoned veterans, are welcomed to share, ask questions and encourage one another on various homeschool methods, styles and problems. "Retired" home educators are not only welcomed but needed to help guide and strengthen the next generation of home educators.

Members can also post information on park days, field trips and other activities pertaining to homeschooling and the family. Check out the links and files for information on getting started, co-ops, activities, help and resources.

Often home educators have little time for extra phone calls and visits but still have a pressing need to connect with one another. While e-mail and the Internet do not replace the need for in person contact, it is the moderators' hope that this will help fill the gap that may otherwise go unfilled.

Homeschool teens age 15 and older are encouraged to join www.homeschoolalumni.org to visit with homeschoolers in the area and across the country. Other options for homeschool students are www.homeschoolblogger.com and Facebook.

So come in and make yourself at home. We're so glad you're here!
