- Dayton Area Homeschoolers (DaytonAreaHomeschoolers) - All are welcome to join this free group. There are no requirements to join, and no boards or committees. We are an informal, inclusive group of homeschoolers, or those interested in learning more about homeschool, in the Dayton Ohio area. We have no religious affiliation. The main idea: to share info, go on field trips, teach or participate in co-op classes in all subjects, support each other in whatever method of homeschooling we use. The main goal is to have fun learning with our children. Members are encouraged to plan and organize whatever events interest them and invite the others to join in. This is a group-run organization. Feel free to plan a Park Day, Field Trip or Tour for the group. Help yourself to the valuable FREE resources in the Links and Files, and check the Calendar for upcoming outings. We no longer have regular monthly meetings, but continue to plan outings through this site.

- Dayton Catholic Homeschool Network (DaytonCatholicHomeschoolNetwork) - The primary purpose of the Dayton Catholic Homeschool Network is to facilitate communication about events and other items of interest to the Dayton Catholic homeschool community. In addition, we strive to link these local families to resources they need to homeschool well. It is hoped that this network will assist us to function better as the Body of Christ.
Membership is primarily intended for Catholic Homeschool families in the greater Dayton, Ohio area. However, those with an interest in becoming Catholic, home educators, and residents of the Dayton area are welcome to join too. This forum is Catholic in tone and content.
Members are encouraged to keep Christ, especially Christ present in the Eucharist, central in their efforts to home educate their children.
DCHN was started in 2006 so members of several Catholic homeschool groups in the Dayton area could communicate more easily. We are a non-profit organization and a function of Emmanuel parish. Fr. Lee Sciarrotta serves as Spiritual Director.
Our website is Dayton Catholic Homeschool Network.

- Gifted Ohio Homeschoolers (GOHome) - Gifted Ohio Homeschoolers is for parents homeschooling or considering homeschooling a gifted child in Ohio. We are here to network with other parents, exchange ideas and information, share concerns and give support. We believe giftedness comes in many forms and that there is no one right way to educate. Therefore, we are very tolerant of each other's differences including world-view, religion and philosophy of education. Folks in surrounding areas are welcome too.

- Greater Cincinnati Home Schoolers (Cincinnati_Home_Schoolers) - This site is for Home Schoolers and those interested in learning in general. There does not tend to be much discussion but it is welcome if desired. You are encouraged to post information of interest to you as you homeschool/learn with your family. I post what is of interest to me as I do the same.
There is but one rule here - you must be respectful. This list is not affiliated with any particular religion (or lack thereof) or with any particular home schooling method or group. You may, therefore, encounter people whose beliefs are at odds with your own. Please take from this list what interests you and express your disagreement/disinterest by hitting "delete".
