South Bay
Homeschool Network

WHAT IS SBHN?

The South Bay Homeschool Network is a support group for families who are homeschooling their children in or around the South Bay area of Los Angeles.

We are not a religious organization, and we are not a school. We don't have membership dues or contracts you must sign to join.

Our goal is to create an environment where homeschoolers can meet, exchange ideas, and build relationships.

We offer many different ways to connect with other homeschoolers. You may attend park days listed on our calendar, join our email loops and/or attend classes, field trips and activities offered on our newsletter.

Within our network there are families with many different spiritual and political views. There are independent homeschoolers and families who have joined different public and private school programs. We are a very diverse group. Everyone is welcome.

SBHN EMAIL LOOPS

There are several email loops for homeschoolers in the South Bay.
These loops are exclusively for families homeschooling or considering homeschooling their children.
We do not allow marketing or advertising of any kind.

SBHN-Talk loop is an online discussion loop for South Bay homeschoolers. Discussion is restricted to topics relevant to homeschooling and family life in the South Bay.

SBHN Double Digits Loop
This is an email loop for homeschooling parents in the South Bay with children aged 10 and up. Members of this group can chat, plan, or lurk. Anyone is welcome to post ideas and activities for events that will interest children in this age range. Homeschoolers only.

SBHN-PreTween Loop
This is an email loop for homeschooling parents in the South Bay with children aged 6-10 (or children whose interests lie in the age range of 7-9). Members of this group can chat, plan, or lurk. Anyone is welcome to post ideas and activities for events that will interest children in this age range.

SBHN-PublicSpeakers
This group's goal is to develop the public speaking skills of homeschoolers aged 10 and up (though I won't reject serious-minded younger ones). Though mentored by adults, the meetings are run by the kids themselves. Meetings are held two times per month in the South Bay, and the overall approach is similar to that of Toastmasters Int'l. Homeschoolers only.

Thursday Special Needs Park Day

SBHN-Friends Loop
This is a loop for families homeschooling their own children who are currently attending park days on a regular basis.
