Homeschooling Resources in Parker CO

There are many families who have chosen to homeschool in the Parker Colorado area. We’ll try to post links and information to help you locate resources. If you know of some great resources please let me know and I’ll add them to the page.

“It is the primary right and obligation of the parent to choose the proper education and training for children under his care and supervision. It is recognized that home-based education is a legitimate alternative to classroom attendance for the instruction of children and that any regulation of non-public home-based educational programs should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate a variety of circumstances. The General Assembly further declares that non-public home-based educational programs shall be subject only to minimum state controls which are currently applicable to other forms of non-public education.” § 22-33-104.5(1).

Digital Educational Resources
