The Southern Tier of NYS is a broad geographic area (taking in parts of NYS and PA). It is rich in diversity and opportunities, and has a very supportive atmosphere for homeschooling in all of its many forms.

This List was created for informational purposes for people who want to investigate educational alternatives such as homeschooling in the Southern Tier of NYS, and is an open list for anyone to join (I have patterned it after the Fingerlakes Unschooling Network's open list); I will approve all who wish to join.

This list will be a place to ask questions, support and respect others, share information, discuss theory, plan get-togethers for families or youth, discuss what homeschooling opportunities, gatherings, and organizations are available for support in the area, search the archives, etc.

This will also be a List with the purpose of putting homeschooling newcomers in touch with experienced homeschoolers in our area. Feel free to suggest that anyone new to homeschooling (or even just interested in exploring it as an alternative) join this new list. Also, if you are someone willing to discuss homeschooling with interested individuals or newcomers, please subscribe.
