Memories of Swappie days gone by stored 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.

Publish your original stories and poetry here! This means to only post something that you wrote. Open to all ages. Please sign your real first name (and age, if you are under eighteen) to all of your work. HAVE FUN! (Christian standards of speech and content will apply, and materials that do not measure up will be deleted at the discretion of the moderator and/or administrators.)

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

Share a devotion, post your testimony, or discuss the Word of God. You'll find encouragement here to lift and strengthen your heart, as well as a place to discuss spiritual issues involving God's Word. Take with you the power of God’s Word to renew your mind and set you free.

Join one of our discussion studies to learn more about God's Word. The lessons will vary in subject matter and length, but will greatly strengthen your walk as a Believer.
