About

LEARN is a secular group of over 150 families from all over the Kansas City Metro area.

When families participate in LEARN they agree to be respectful of others, regardless of race, color, age, irreligion/religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, marital status, military status, parenting choices, and homeschooling style. 

We welcome families wherever you are with homeschooling – whether you are just starting out, are a long-time homeschooler, use a virtual school, have children in school (exploring homeschooling or doing both homeschool and private/public schooling), or have preschool age children, and regardless of curriculum used or not. 

LEARN focuses on supporting homeschool families, and we look forward to helping you find your niche.

We invite you to learn more about our organization at the links below.
