Welcome to TN homeschool

Posted in announcements

Hi and welcome to the Tennessee Homeschool blog at Homeschoolblogger.com. My purpose is to try to help new homeschoolers (and veterans too!) find information on the World Wide Web that can help them with their homeschools.

If you have any specific questions about Homeschooling in Tennessee, please send me an email and I'll see if I can help.

PS. This blog is not to be any source for legal advice. Just opinions and ideas from homeschooling my own children in Tennessee since 1995.

Homeschool Tutorials

Posted in announcements
The following are the homeschool tutorials that I know of in Tennessee. If you know of others that you'd like to see listed here, please send me an email. Thanks!

West Harpeth Christian Tutorial - Franklin

"The mission at WHCT is to help homeschool parents and their students by providing select, graded coursework from a deliberate and informed Christian perspective for the purpose of supplementing the home education.  By hiring tutors who confess a Christian faith, possess a Christian worldview and are qualified to teach their subject areas, we fulfill our goal of helping educate our children in a unique atmosphere. We would like to extend an invitation to you to join us in this calling - educating our children for the glory of God."

Visit the West Harpeth Christian Tutorial web site for more information.

Stone-Table Classic Foundations - Franklin

"In August 2000 Robbie and Sharilyn Grayson began Stone Table Tutorial, on five acres at 4150 Clovercroft Road, Franklin, Tennessee. Stone Table started as an aggressive and innovative form of Christian education that would address the surfacing cultural problems of the 21st century: the fog of a Post-modern world view, a waning Christian consensus amongst the young, a poor Christian scholarship at the elementary level, and an ignorance of a Christian physiological view of the individual."

Here is the link to their web site:  Stone-Table.com

Bellevue Homeschool Enrichment - Pegram

Bellevue Home School Enrichment serves Pre-K through 12 with classes on Mondays during the school year.  These classes meet just west of Bellevue in Pegram. This is a Christ-centered, academic program at affordable rates. It also offers lots of extracurricular activities including drama, volleyball, Girl Scouts, Junior Achievemnet's Exchange City, yearbook, student government, and much more.

Visit the web site: www.enrichmentbhse.com

Frequently Asked Questions

Posted in announcements

I've been wanting to make an FAQ on this blog for sometime, but first I needed to get all my thoughts (and all your questions) in line. Here's what I've come up with so far. I'll add to this list as I find (and answer) more questions.

1. What is this blog for and about?

2. How do I use this blog?

3. What are the legal ways to homeschool in Tennessee?

4. Where can I buy curriculum?

Curriculum Stores

Posted in announcements

One of the first questions I always get concerning homeschooling is "Where can I buy materials?"

There are many on-line sites and homeschool catalogs that offer many, many selections. Here are some of my favorite on-line places to order new curriculum.

The Schoolhouse Store                     Rainbow Resource

R.O.C.K.Solid                                  Home Science Tools

And here are some great places to find used curriculum on-line:

Homeschool Buy                             Vegsource Homeschool Talk & Swap

The Homeschool Mom    and   The Home Sweet Homeschool list many other on-line sites for used books.

By all means I don't try to list every place on the Net that you could buy homeschooling materials! I just listed the ones I use frequently. There are plenty out there, just search for 'homeschool books'. Goodluck!

A new school year!

Posted in announcements

Well, it seems to be the time to start back to school for most of us. We actually went back to school in early July so that we can be finished by mid April. That works for us, but everyone does things differently. That's one of the benefits of homeschooling!

I want to welcome any new people and introduce them to the Tennessee blog. I've spent lots of time collecting information about homeschooling in our great state and linked many important web sites to the side bar on this blog.

First on the side bar is a list of the most recent posts to this blog. Many of the posted events have passed now, but some of it's still pertinent information that you might want to read.

Next is information all about this TN blog. Including how to contact me directly if you have questions and how to find all the posts that have been archived since the beginning of this blog.

Next you can view the posts I've made here by the category that I placed them into. Supposedly for easy access.

The next part is the Tennessee Homeschool Information. This is where you will find the links to all the legal stuff and other web sites that will help you get started on your homeschooling journey.

Then you will find list groups. These are web-based groups specific to your area that you can join and ask questions to many veteran homeschoolers that may be near you.

Next you will see three sections of homeschool organizations that are grouped by East, Middle and West. These are physical groups that you can join. Check out their web sites for more information.

The rest of the side bar contains links that I found to be educational and generally Tennessee specific. If you have any questions about how to begin homeschooling and where you should go from here, please feel free to email me.

May God bless your efforts to teach your own.

(as always, if you find a broken link, please let me know so that I can update that. Thanks.)
