Homeschooling: Don't Go It Alone!

What is the LAF Support Community?

Learning and families is a Christ-centered community with a long history of supporting homeschool families in the Manasota region.
 
Established with just ten families in 1986, the community has grown into a non-profit organization serving more than 250 families who are as diverse as their homeschool philosophies. Some adhere to strict curriculum plans; others follow a more relaxed approach, and some even use satellite school programs, virtual schools, and dual enrollment opportunities.
 
LAF includes families with children of all ages from birth through high school. Some are new to homeschooling and others are veterans, but all are participants who enroll yearly to receive support, encouragement, fellowship, and enriching opportunities for their families. 

 

Our slogan at LAF is “Homeschooling: Don’t go it alone!” And our primary goal is to provide the unique support that your family needs.
