Central Iowa Secular Homeschoolers
Central Iowa Secular Homeschoolers is a group offering support, encouragement, and information to homeschoolers or people considering homeschooling. We always welcome new members but keep our Facebook “closed” so that all posts can only be viewed by members of the group. It helps protect the privacy of our families and children and creates a safer environment for sharing. We may organize group gatherings and tours within central Iowa.
