It is a strong concern and wish of most parents that their children grow up in a neighborhood with friends who attend the same school or, for homeschoolers, with other families who homeschool. Our group currently has families whose kids attend Sudbury Valley School, families interested in Montessori Schools, and homeschooling, and several families with children in public schools (Berlin Memorial School and Tahanto Regional High School). Some of our families have children under school age with about an equal mix of those considering private school, public school and homeschooling. Our goal is to build a community that is supportive of educational diversity and choices. We also hope as individual parents that all of our kids, however they are schooled, will know a few other families with kids schooled in the same manner. We have reached out (and will continue to do so) to families with varying educational philosophies.
