FAHA (Fredericksburg Area Homeschoolers’ Association) began as more than a homeschool support group. It started as an intentional community, secular, close-knit, and like-minded. In 2003, the founders were immersed in attachment parenting, respectful parenting, and natural living. That is still strong in us, and has continued to inform our lives as our children grow. New members have been attracted to some or all of these values and interests and we’re a strong, connected community. We live aro …

A Living Family: Your support, Your Family. When I was a child, my parents would tell me stories of their childhoods growing up in India. Living communally, in a compound with extended families, the children grew and played together while the adults shared together in the joys and tasks of daily life. Even as a child, I understood the power of community to enrich the life of the individual. I gather that it was a difficult time, making life happen with the resources available, but I also heard t …

Families of every kind are making the shift to educate their children at home.  To quote one of our favorite online resources, "The new face of homeschooling does not look anything like it did thirty years ago....[It]is inner city, rural, suburban, hip, trendy, multilingual, simple, crafty, classic, apprenticeship-based, nature walking, take-out eating, conservative, liberal, intentional, frugal, community based and neighborhood connected. In short, it is everything you are." (Simplehomeschool.n …
