Welcome to LIFE of Florida!

Our secular and inclusive Florida-wide homeschool support group acts as a resource center and clearinghouse for home and alternative educators interested in enriching their learning environments and maximizing their learning opportunities, as well as an advocacy center for Choice in Learning.

There is no cost to be part of LIFE of Florida -- just join in at our email discussion and announcement list, Florida LIFE, where you can download your membership card -- good for educational discounts throughout FL -- and stay informed and updated on events, issues and resources, and connect with other homeschoolers throughout the state.

If you're just getting started in homeschooling, be sure to check out our LIFE of Florida Quick Links, our list of Useful Docs, and our enormous collection of resources in the left hand column, and click here to see our list of Inclusive Homeschool Support Groups throughout the state.

If you'd like your regional inclusive support group to be networked with LIFE of Florida, drop us a line with a group description, contact and other relevant information and we'll add you, free of charge, to our directory. All your group members will be automatically considered members of LIFE of Florida, and are entitled to membership cards and all the benefits we offer. Virtual school families are also welcome to enjoy our resources, support and camaraderie.

We're all inclusive and free of charge, and we're here for you!

Welcome Southwest Florida Homeschooling Familes - serving Collier and Lee Counties

Welcome the group, Southwest Florida Homeschooling Families, serving Collier and Lee counties, to our growing family of inclusive homeschool support groups in Florida.

__________________________________________

We welcome all homeschooling families, regardless of religious beliefs, educational philosophy, or curriculum method. We have founded this group in the hopes that homeschooling families in SW Florida will feel welcome and encouraged by our support. We are not a leadership-based group run by rigid bylaws. We are all volunteers. We believe this system will enable members to concentrate more fully on their families and give attention to the important matters of homeschooling rather than the politics of a group. We will meet for field trips and association to help support and encourage one another and our children. Visit http://swflhsf.bravehost.com/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWFL-HSF/

We are currently preparing for our 2008 Homeschool Orientation and Information Fair on Saturday, September 13th, 2008 We will have information about local homeschooling opportunities, classes, and events. We'll also have a used curriculum sale and book swap during this time.

We are also preparing a Virtual Fair �" The Website should be available later this week
