I believe there is a group that exists, they get together and do field trips and the like. My son is 6, and I would like to get him involved with other children. Any information would be great!
Mahalo!

There is a group on Yahoo called Big Island Homeschoolers.

I did the home school thing briefly. I put an ad in the local paper and the response was phenomenal (this was on Kauai).

I met many Johovah Witness but they did not include saving us non-Jahovah Witness's during any outings we did together.

There were so many excursions and outings with the other homeschoolers it was hard to keep up.

I hope you find the support you need as you must know that many people will criticize you for home schooling (BTW; it is perfectly legal).

I believe the kids are encouraged to take profiency tests equivalent to grade every 2 years here in Hawaii but I don't know if things have changed as that is according to which state you're in and what the end goal is.

Good-luck

Thanks. The public schools here are horrible (for the most part), and I don't yet know if we can afford private school. There are actually a lot on this island that home-school, and I haven't heard anything bad at all. Its pretty common here to homeschool.
