Homeschooling in Houston… Where do we start?

by Jill Jarvis 10 Comments

Homeschooling in Houston…. where do we even start? This is a question I get a lot… and I also wanted to know the answer.

Fortunately this community is full of experts that are nice enough to share their knowledge! Below are resources to get us started with Homeschooling in Houston. (And I did start homeschooling in Houston!)

Homeschooling in Houston

Get started Homeschooling in Houston:

  • Texas Home School Coalition
    • Learn about the laws and watch a series of videos on what to consider before homeschooling, and how to start.
    • There are also a couple THSC Homeschool Conventions.
  • The Homeschool Store
    • Not only do they have supplies and curriculums, but they provide all the information you need to get started.
    • Learn what subjects each age needs, watch videos about getting started and let the knowledgeable staff guide you.

Find a Homeschooling Group:

You can find a Homeschooling Group in your area. These are a huge source of information and resources. Some groups are:

  • Homeschool Moms of Houston
  • Cypress Area Homeschool Association 
  • Greater Houston Homeschoolers 

Tell us if you have more you recommend!

University Model/Co-op Homeschooling Options:

Some schools offer hybrid programs where you are onsite for a couple days and homeschool on the other days.

  • Trinity Classical School – On-campus classes meet two days per week (Monday and Wednesday), with at-home learning occurring on the alternate days.
  • Kingwood Bible Church has an excellent home school program.
  • Legacy Prep Christian Academy (The Woodlands) – University model school that is half private school half homeschool.
  • Some private Co-Ops allow kids to attend a “school” a couple days a week and to teach at home the rest of the week. 

Homeschool Curriculums:

  • Find homeschool curriculums at The Homeschool Store.
  • 102 Homeschool Curriculums is a book that has been recommended to help match your teaching style to your child’s learning styles.

Houston Homeschooling Events:

Find Houston Area Homeschool Days, Labs and Classes.

  • Houston Homeschool Events 
  • For Houston Area Homeschool Days, Labs and Classes, go HERE!

Thanks to Amy H, Kimberly R, Pat S, Nicole W, Kyla H, Sarah C for getting me started!

If you have more suggestions for homeschooling in Houston, let us know!

      Kim –

      I think the Texas Home School Coalition is a good place to start. I’ll ask the group for more ideas in the Crosby area too.

    Another useful resource is http://houston.areahomeschoolclasses.com, which lists various co-ops, classes, and programs for homeschool families in the Houston area.

    Jill,

    I noticed your post. I applaud you for learning about home school curriculum and support groups. You probably have a good idea about Texas requirements for homeschooling by now. I know several families who home school in this city. I thought this site would be helpful http://www.a2zhomeschooling.com for someone new. It is the list of groups in Houston by area.

    Thanks for this post! There are so many homeschoolers and very few very good resources. You are the first page that comes up when I look for things! I would love to see you really dive into the issue even more — where are there classes (at least centrally, but maybe by region). In Houston, there are arboretum, glassel, art school on the boulevard, zoo, etc classes during the homeschool day (which usually means not saturdays/sundays to homeschool families who tend to keep their weekends open). But there are more, and they’re so hard to find. There are a whole bunch of pages that are otu of date online, with links to groups that no longer exist. I’d love to be able to point people here because we already love your site for thorough info.

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
