New to homeschooling in the Oak Park area? Wondering what groups are out there?
Westside HOUSE is the west suburban chapter of HOUSE, or Home Oriented Unique Schooling Experience, a non-sectarian group. HOUSE offers monthly parent support meetings, a Roots and Shoots Club for boys, and other classes and events scheduled as needed. Find them on the web at http://www.housewestside.org. Outside the Oak Park area? Check the Illinois House website to find a group near you.
TEACH, an Oak Park area Christian group, states that its purpose is to support the sharing of information and support between T.E.A.C.H. group members. Activities include a parent’s support meeting. Their yahoo group is here.
NUG, or Northside Unschoolers, can be found on the web at http://www.Northsideunschoolers.org.
In addition to a popular multi-age Girl Scout troop, NUG also hosts Open Gym, Mother’s Teas, and other events and classes planned as needed.
Are there more groups that I don’t know about? If you would like to share information about another group, please post a comment, thanks!
