Find Support and Resources

• Contact AHEM for help: AHEM contacts are happy to use their combined wisdom of many years homeschooling in Massachusetts to help you figure out how homeschooling works, as well as help you communicate with school officials. We do not provide legal advice.

• Local support groups: Connecting with a local support group is a great way to make social connections, and often people in your own town will provide the best insight into town policy and dealing with local officials. There are also ways to connect with other homeschoolers online and at learning centers.
