GETTING STARTED IN IDAHO

  • County School Board of Education - With the increased popularity of home schooling across Idaho, it has become more common for the board of education to designate one of their staff members to assist home schoolers in finding the information they need.

Idaho Homeschool Network
The vision of the Idaho Home School Network is to bring together home schooling families in the Post Falls/Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area through programs where they can mutually serve and support one another through what they have in common. Our primary method for meeting this goal is co-op classes. Co-op classes bring students together in a shared learning environment, much like a traditional classroom or school club. Our co-op classes are offered for grades K-9+ and cover a wide variety of subjects including: science, history, art, music, drama, chess, sign language, Latin, Bible, journalism, P.E., and many others. The Idaho Home School Network also offers field trips, quarterly events such as history and science fairs, and participates with other local home school organizations in promoting conferences.

  Email Address: Sterlingatsd@msn.com
  Website: www.nihea.org

NIHEA is a Christian support group for home school families. We offer monthly support/skate meetings, a monthly/mid month newsletter, political alerts, and many other educational and fun activities on a consistent basis. Small groups meet for activities such as field trips, special events, mom’s encouragement club , etc. Also, we have an extensive library of home school supplies, books, and materials that are available to NIHEA members.

Southeast Idaho Homeschool Association
If you are home schooling your children in the Pocatello  area, we consider you a member! We are a  group of parents in Southeast Idaho who are brought together by our interest in home school excellence. We do our best to teach our children not only the basic academic subjects, but also a respect for the family values we hold dear. We respect each family's beliefs and encourage the richness of shared association. We encourage each parent to find the unique home schooling method best for their family. We encourage families to be politically active and to promote laws that support our freedom to responsibly home educate our children. We are busy parents who  provide support to home schooling by taking turns writing articles for the newsletter,  organizing parent's meetings, field trips, skate parties, and other educational activities including an annual spelling bee, geography bee, and science fair.


GETTING SCHOOL CREDIT IN IDAHO

If you want to get school credit for Idaho homeschool students, you have to hire a service to keep records of all school courses that your children complete at home. Since requirements vary from state to state, we recommend using a service located within Idaho. Learning Things can provide you with the materials which can be used to qualify for credit in any state. However, Learning Things does not verify that your student has completed the materials. For that, you would need to hire a record keeping service. These services are authorized by the state to keep records of your activities and award your children with credits. To find a service in your area, we recommend contacting any of the sources listed above.
