A Homeschool Building

(view similar articles on Q&A from Homeschool Leaders)

A homeschool leader in KY recently e-mailed me about her group's plan to buy a building.

Carol,

I attended your workshop at the Cincy convention and found it very useful. Do you know of any home school group that has their own building? That is our next step and I need help in knowing how to get started. We are already tax exempt and have about 200 students. Our web site is www.christianconsortium.org , located in Louisville.

Thank you for any help you can give!

Bev,
I'm glad my workshop was helpful.

Most of the homeschool groups I know rent space and do not own a building. I remember reading about a homeschool building in an issue of Homeschooling Today magazine (I think), but that was years ago. The group bought the building with the help of a generous donor and hired a manager/maintenance man. His salary was paid for our of fees for building use. I think a church even rented space on Sunday morning.

I did an internet search and found this homeschool building in Michigan. I can't tell if this is the one from the magazine article. Could be...

Maybe if you send an e-mail, someone can answer your questions.

I hope that helps!

Home School Group with Building

Another group with a building is FEAST (Family Educators Association of South Texas). (www.homeschoolfeast.com). They may be the group that Carol mentioned.

I know their was a homeschool building hang out for teens on the Erie canal near Pittsford NY where we lived. Since I didn't have teens, I didn't ever really check out what it was or why someone started it. Thanks for stopping by my blog with title ideas!
