Montana Secular Homeschool Groups
“This group is for all of those homeschooling for non-religious reasons in the Flathead Valley. Secular, eclectic, academic, and free thinking homeschoolers are welcome. This group is intended as an outlet for our unique needs, and a place to bring together like minded people. We are not a co-op but we encourage co-operation in learning.”
