We have chosen some major sites, some niche sites, and a few that simply appeal. Most link to more of the thousands of home education sites, so starting from this list, you could spend weeks on-line. (Just remember your children.)

Most listed sites are open to various approaches to learning at home - if not the notes should identify their philosophy. Many sites are run by Christians or reflect Christian thinking or values, because Christians tend to choose home education in disproportionate numbers because state-run schools around the Western world are based on humanistic / anti-Christian philosophies. We have not specifically noted sites as "Christian" unless they target Christians exclusively.
