A note from the author. . . .

A few years ago I started getting e-mail from LDS homeschoolers around the world. I discovered that I was listed as the LDS homeschooling contact on several websites. Imagine my surprise! This site is a collection of the information I usually share with those considering the option of homeschooling. I have attempted to address all the issues that are usually raised. I hope you will find it a valuable resource. Please feel free to e-mail me with additional concerns or questions. A big THANK YOU to my son Andrew, who at age 12, worked patiently with me to create this site. It was his knowledge of HTML that made its creation possible. -Karen Rafferty
