New to Homeschooling?

Beginning your homeschool journey can feel overwhelming, but many families in the Helena area have successfully navigated the process.

GETTING STARTED

Families often begin their homeschool adventure:

• Praying
• Learning about Montana homeschool requirements
• Choosing curriculum
• Connecting with other homeschool families
• Discovering local activities

If you have specific questions, reach out to HACHE and we will connect you to a member to walk alongside you as you get started. We also recommend reviewing the Getting Started Guide and information from Homeschool Montana and Montana Coalition of Home Educators.
