Homeschooling
 
Does anyone here have kids that homeschool in KW/Humble ISD? I think we have a few regulars that do but I'm blanking on names.
 
We have 2 years left and we're completely over it. It's a very long story. Bottom line is - I don't feel like my child is being protected. 😒
 
With that said, we are looking to join a Co-Op in Kingwood & I'm looking for areas to start that research.
 
I've joined a few groups on social media but I figured I'd ask here as well.
 
If you can point me in any direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!
 
Thanks.

Do you mean protected as in physically protected? That is a very scary thought.

Woodridge Baptist Church has a large homeschooling community. I'm sure if you call the office they can hook you up with moms that have children your daughter's age. I know they have sports teams, clubs and dances within the community. Good luck! Wish I had gone that route when my son was 14, but I didn't have any resources.

You can always reach out to your school counselor for homeschooling information

@StirmChaser: My DD graduated through Heart. They did a school yearbook and a senior prom. I think you had to join a year or two before graduation year.
Look into dual credits through Lonestar also.

StormChaser: I know there's a strong homeschool community for elementary and middle school students. Oldest DD was involved with a group. I'll ask her and pm you.

There's Home Run ministry that is based out of Kingwood Bible Church
And one that may still be at Calvary I think it was called Classical Conversations.
I think these offered teaching and extra activities.

Our oldest graduated from Kingwood High School and our youngest graduates next year. It's been a great experience for both of them and we're very happy with the path they are on.
 
That said, my wife and I recently attended graduation for my cousin's son, who was in a Classical Conversations program in central Texas. Wow--it was very impressive! Especially for such a small group (8 students in the graduating class). I would definitely take a look if you are considering a home-school situation. There were great programs and they took educational trips, went to the theatrical productions, etc. A surprisingly well-rounded experience.
 
Half of the kids are going on to college, half are starting businesses of various types.

I don't have any personal, local recommendations but I wish for Good Luck and Success on your search. I have some friends that did homeschooling for their children, but they don't live here in Kingwood. They loved that option, and it really worked out well for the kids.
