We are the largest, English-speaking homeschool support group in Germany. Please visit our primary site at KMC Christian Home Educators.

• a believer in Jesus Christ
• connected with the United States military in some way
• home schooling your children
• living in the United States or abroad.

Join in discussion with us as we encourage each other in our Christian faith, share military base information and homeschooling helps. We believe that as Christian homeschooling families connected with the US military, we are in an unique situation. Let's make the BEST of it, encourage one another and have FUN doing it.

This website is private. Access is granted if you are homeschooling your child or children in MISAWA. At this site you will get email updates, reminders, the calendar of events, and more. This is the only means of group communuication.

Click the "Join This Group" button to send your request to join. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR REAL NAME AND LAST INITIAL, HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU ARE CURRENTLY HOMESHCOOLING, OR IF YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN HOMESCHOOLING AT THIS POINT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DELAY YOUR APPROVAL TO THE GROUP.

If you've found this link via a search and you're interested in homeschooling in Misawa, please contact the list owner at the email address listed below for more information.

Please help keep this list focused on things that will benefit the largest number of participants by following these rules:

1. Use the email subject line wisely to identify the purpose of your post. We have different age children, varied interests, and busy schedules. Let the subject line help people to see quickly if a topic is of interest to them.
2. Do not post solicitations on this list including fund-raisers, home business ads, or other sales. Do NOT use the information about list members (addresses, emails) to solicit them unless they have given you there express permission in advance.
3. If you have a topic that may interest a narrower group of list participants (a project for a certain age group, an activity with a special focus such as a chess group, book club, show and tell), please post your offering to the list and then work out details by personal emails or phone calls.

This group is still under construction but we hope this group will become a source of information and a place to meet other homeschoolers. Feel free to use this group to organize park days, feild trips, ask curriculum questions or advertise your HOMESCHOOL RELATED business or items for sale (please use Japan Update to advertise items other than curriculum or homeschool items.If you are unsure if your item is appropriate to post, please email the group moderator before posting, thanks)

We have an extensive collection of links and new links will be added weekly. I will also be working on adding more files in the near future. (All links are working as of 7/20/2006. I will remove dead links periodically)

Any member may post messages, add files or links and add photos. In order to keep the links and files areas neat and tidy, we ask that you please place your file or link in the appropriate folder within the area. If you are unsure where to place your item, please email the group owner and I will help you place it.
