This list was formed to support homeschoolers in the Santa Cruz area. In searching for a list that would give me a way to contact other homeschoolers in the area, I found nothing and so started this list in response. I envision it being used to share ideas, joys and sorrows, advice, materials, and to help families connect to form learning clubs for children with related interests. All are welcome, whether you are part of a learning program offered by one of the school districts or are independently homeschooling.
