How to Join

We look forward to meeting you!

Whether you're new to homeschooling or simply new to Home on the Rock, we are excited to come alongside you in your journey! We offer a variety of programs, clubs, and activities all over Central Ohio.

If you have any questions about the membership process, email hotrmembership@gmail.com.

We are a conservative, Christian homeschool group, run solely by volunteers.
We define home education as the parent doing the teaching. Families using a Virtual Academy (E-COT, Connections Academy, etc.) are not eligible to join.
Every parent must teach or help in a class for every session your family participates in.
We are not a drop-off program.
A satisfactory background check is required before joining.
