"Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues. This requires an apprenticeship in self-denial, sound judgment, and self-mastery - the preconditions of all true freedom." -CCC 2223

Live in Kitsap County? Are You Catholic? Do You Homeschool?


This is the place to connect the Catholic homeschooling community of Kitsap County, WA. While I don't pretend to be a comprehensive portal, over time I hope to link up to resources for all of us here on the peninsula.  I' ll try to keep the educational polemic to a minimum (maybe throwing out a few quotes here and there) and stay focused on what connects us: our faith and our desire to educate our child our own way, on our terms. If you are new to the area, welcome! Ask any questions you want in the comment section.

I am Ellie, a homeschooling mother of five.  I hope to have eyes and ears on the community so I can  keep us up to date on activities, events and resources "around the Sound" that are relevant to homeschool families. This blog will not replace our e-mail notifications of our regular meetings at Star, (Third Fridays fall thru spring! Ask for details!) rather it will be a supplement so I don't flood your inboxes with all kinds of tidbits.

As this will most likely be an irregular blog, you'd be best to sign on as a follower there on the sidebar to be notified of the latest news especially since much of it will be time sensitive.

God bless!
