Networking With Calvert Families in Your State!
The Calvert Networking Program allows us to connect families interested in homeschooling with Calvert families in their area currently using our courses. Networking is a great way for families considering the use of Calvert materials to discuss with a family how the program works and to possibly inspect course materials.
To learn more or to help prospective families learn more about Calvert, visit the Family Networking page.
Home school Support Groups
Home school support groups in your state are an excellent way to gain more assistance and guidance in your homeschooling endeavors. A regional support group fosters a wonderful sense on community among homeschooling families and allows for more opportunities to exchange ideas, plan group outings, and share in the overall experience of homeschooling! While Calvert supports the development of community between homeschool families, this list does not constitute affiliation between Calvert School and the groups represented below.

AMERICA'S STONEHENGE AT MYSTERY HILL

BOSTON UNIVERSITY SARGENT CENTER FOR OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Sargent Center for Outdoor Education began as Sargent Camp, the summer location for Dudley Sargent’s teacher training program. It was here in the New Hampshire woods that he developed his philosophy that shared experiences in a beautiful natural setting— including a few “mild trials and tribulations”— fostered not just camaraderie, but “individual completeness and harmony of development” as well. Today, nearly 100 years later, Sargent Center continues to be a center of progressive outdoor education.
