Homeschooling parents and children

Making Homeschooling Possible—Together

Every child is different and should have the freedom to learn in a safe, loving environment at their own pace.

  • We partner with our 100,000 member families, donors, homeschool leaders, legislators, and others who want to protect this freedom.
  • We’ve been trusted for over 40 years to advance and protect homeschool freedom in the courts, legislatures, and in the court of public opinion.
  • We equip parents with educational resources and Compassion grants because we love homeschooling and want more families to experience it.
  • We know the benefits and challenges of homeschooling personally—most of our staff are homeschool parents and grads.

HSLDA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt, religious, membership organization that advocates for homeschooling, defends the civil rights of homeschoolers, and provides assistance to homeschoolers in hard times. We are governed by a board and no profits inure to the benefit of any employees or board members. Membership dues are not tax-deductible, but as a 501(c)(3), we are able to receive tax-deductible donations. Learn more about HSLDA here.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, HSLDA does not directly or indirectly participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.

Our sister organization, HSLDA Action, is a 501(c)(4) organization and is permitted to endorse political candidates and engage in lobbying that is germane to its purposes. HSLDA Action’s Political Action Committee endorses candidates who support homeschool freedom and lobbies on behalf of homeschool freedom.

Yes. HSLDA’s leaders, directors, and employees are Christians who seek to honor God by providing the very highest levels of service in defending homeschool freedom and equipping homeschoolers. And because of our beliefs, we want every family to have the freedom to direct their children’s education, no matter their background or religious affiliation. Therefore, we do not make religious beliefs a condition of membership or any other service we offer. You can learn more about HSLDA here.
