Re: Re: How do I homeschool in PA?

PAVCS cyber school has not closed registration yet for this year but will be soon.  You can choose any cyber school in PA free of charge- the county does not matter.  I would call them to see if they will still allow you to enroll this year.

The Great Paper Chase
Cassandra Frear, 1/29/2010

"Our two greatest problems are gravity and paper work. We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paper work is overwhelming."

Welcome to our new online PA Homeschoolers magazine!
Susan Richman, 1/27/2010

Welcome to the opening of our newly expanded online PA Homeschoolers magazine!
