Missouri Homeschool Support Groups

Homeschool support groups in your state are an excellent way to gain more assistance and guidance in your homeschooling endeavors. A regional support group fosters a wonderful sense of community among homeschooling families and allows for more opportunities to exchange ideas, plan group outings, and share in the overall experience of homeschooling! While Calvert supports the development of community among homeschooling families, this list does not constitute affiliation between Calvert Education and the groups represented below.

MISSOURI ASSOCIATION OF TEACHING CHRISTIAN HOMES (MATCH)

MATCH is a Christian organization dedicated to observing the biblical commands of Deuteronomy 6:4–10, Proverbs 22:6, and Ephesians 6:4. We promote home education and believe that every family has the God-given mandate and responsibility to oversee the education of their children, regardless of their philosophy of education or religious affiliation. MATCH is not a church nor is this organization meant to replace the ministry of the local church to the home education family.
