The Swap has been online since 1996! New members join regularly and are always welcome. Many current members have been here from the start. Historical threads and photos are posted here.  

So, you're considering homeschooling and are unsure where to begin. Or perhaps the thought of being responsible for your child's education is terrifying to you. Relax! The Swappies have many years of combined experience and are eager to support you and answer your questions.

Whether you are beginning the adventure, or you're a veteran homeschooler, this is the place for you! Discussion on this forum is limited to anything relevant to homeschooling.

Share your experiences and ask questions about curriculum, record keeping, testing, college admission, extra-curricular activities, and whatever else matters about high school at home.

For parents who homeschool children with special needs: ADD, autism, language disorders, learning disabilities, Down Syndrome, hearing-impaired, and more. Join together here to encourage and learn from one another.

Let us join together to praise God for Who He is and pray for one another's needs.

This forum is for members to host their own Bible studies, book studies, or devotionals. Please feel free to host a new study or join one that already exists.

Because all material is member hosted, opinions expressed are not necessarily held by The Swap's administrators.
