Illinois Homeschool Groups and
IL Homeschooling Support
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 Illinois. Visit their websites or contact them for information. You can also see more details about
Illinois homeschool laws.
Another great source for information is your local school district office. With the increased popularity of homeschooling across Illinois, it has become more common for the district superintendent to designate a staff member to assist homeschooling parents.
