We are the online contact point for members of the homeschooling support group called WALE - Woodfield Area Learning Exchange, a chapter of Illinois HOUSE. We are inclusive of all homeschooling styles and methods.

WHY WALE?
One definition of the word 'wale' comes from the Old English: "a solid component interwoven with others whose addition increases the overall strength of the structure as a whole." We certainly hope that membership in our chapter will help provide this to the homeschooling community!

Our group sponsors drop-in park dates on a bi-weekly basis. Parent planning meetings take place at the first park date of the month. Non-sponsored individually sanctioned activities are posted on this announcement board as a courtesy for our members. We also have a parent meeting once a month at a local coffee house. These meetings are in the evening and provide a chance for the homeschooling parent to take a break from schooling and parenting, while mentoring and sharing with others. WELCOME!
