LEAF is a network of home learners that welcomes all homeschoolers in south-central MA, northern RI and northeastern CT. LEAF is informal, all-inclusive and participant-directed. There is no one leader or group of leaders which plans activities. Every family in LEAF is a fully contributing partner in the network.

Membership Guidelines: LEAF members must be either current homeschoolers, of any educational philosophy, or families considering homeschooling. Members may not be non-homeschooling third parties, such as representatives of commercial ventures, curriculum vendors, or administrators of non-profit educational groups.

Posting Guidelines: LEAF members may post their suggestions for activities, and announce the details of events they are organizing. Questions about getting started in home education, homeschooling methods and styles, sharing of resources and books, and dealings with school districts are always welcome. Please be respectful of differing opinions! Members may post community learning opportunities and upcoming activities that they feel might be of interest to other homeschooling families or are homeschooling-related.

Please no spam! Those who do not homeschool and who subscribe solely to post uninvited announcements for products and services, (commercial or non-profit), will be immediately removed. Occasional business solicitations will be selectively forwarded at the discretion of the moderators. Not all requests for forwarding information will be accommodated. To request a post about your product or service, contact a moderator privately. LEAF members with home businesses may post details to the Database, and make semi-annual announcements regarding their businesses.
