We are a group of families who gathered in the 1980’s to support and encourage other homeschoolers. Our numbers have grown to over 200 families in south central Montana. We love raising our children in the huge expanse of space and the gorgeous blue sky of our rural state. Please roam about our site and glean whatever information might be helpful to you.
