The Black Homeschooler’s Association is a non-profit organization in Fulton, Kentucky . Our organization was developed to encourage blacks (African Americans) to see the benefits of home education and training. It is said that Blacks are joining the home schooling community at an alarming rate. With the rise in violence, drop outs and failing grades many parents are taking their children’s education very personal. Even with all the controversy surrounding home schooling families of all races are finding this to be the only option of educating their children.

Blacks are quickly beginning to realize the importance of home education and thus many groups and organization are popping up all over the place. Many have concerns of the social ramifications of home schooling but it is quickly becoming a moot point. Home schooled children are constantly proving that what they are learning at home is sticking good.

Many groups are taking their support groups online to provide networking opportunities for those who may not have local support groups. The Black Homeschoolers Association has an online community, www.BlackHomeSchoolers.com which is a social network that allows homeschoolers to meet, blog, upload videos, audio and more. There you can also meet other home schoolers and share valuable resources.

Knowing how important our children’s education is we must always consider what options are best when educating them. There are hundreds of home school curriculum available to make your transition easy. Always try to connect with other homeschoolers to share valuable resources. One very valuable resource is the HSLDA the Home School legal Defense Association. The Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms.

Recent news articles such as in The Village Voice and Radio Broadcast such as NPR guest claim that the public school system is failing to educate black children thus there will be a continued rise in home schooling.
