Getting connected to the information you need and to other experienced homeschool parents can
help build confidence for new homeschool parents. Since homeschool laws vary from state to state, we recommend contacting a homeschool group within your state.
The links below provide you with some support groups in Kansas. Visit their websites or contact them for information. You can also see more details about
Kansas homeschool laws.
Another great source for information is your local school district office. With the increased popularity of homeschooling across Kansas, it has become more common for the district superintendent to designate a staff member to assist homeschooling parents.
You can find more homeschool
support under our 'Support' tab at the top
of this page, including our
free product catalog and free
online learning sites for all core
subjects. To find homeschool
curriculum books and materials, just hold
the mouse over the 'Shopping' tab. There you can
shop by subject,
by grade level,
by brand and
by product type.

Christian
Home Educators Confederation of Kansas
Christian Home Educators Confederation of
Kansas (CHECK) is a Kansas state homeschool organization
formed in 1991. It is an association of approximately 50
local support groups around the state of Kansas. CHECK's
mission is to further the interests of private home
education in Kansas by providing accurate, helpful
information on home education; encouraging the creation,
functioning and growth of local support groups; and
advocating for home education in the state and federal
legislatures and other relevant agencies and
organizations. |
Midwest
Parent Educators
In the fall of
1986, a small group of 17 home schooling families
gathered to pool its resources and to provide
encouragement and fellowship for one another. This was the beginning of the Johnson County
Parent Educators (JCPE). In late 2001, the JCPE membership voted to change
the name of the organization to the Midwest Parent
Educators (MPE). JCPE/MPE has experienced growth commensurate with
that of the home schooling movement nationally. We serve home educators in the greater Kansas
City metro area, including many from Wyandotte, Miami,
and Douglas counties in Kansas and from counties in
Kansas City, Missouri.
