Why Should I Join a Support Group?
Support groups offer like-minded families the opportunity to get together for field trips, moms’ meetings, and special activities. Some are based on educational philosophies while others are simply a way for families to connect. Support groups also help families stay informed on the political front, offering information on actions each individual family may need to take in regard to legislation that would adversely affect homeschool freedoms.
The groups listed on this page are accepting new members.
If you are looking for a church-based or limited membership support group, you may contact Linda Duntley at 918-322-3984 for a referral.

Limited Enrollment Schools/Tutorials
Augustine Christian Academy
Augustine Christian Academy is a non-denominational, Classical School dedicated to helping parents prepare their children to follow God’s calling in their lives. Although the school offers a full-time program for parents who chose this option, it has always offered parents the choice of sending their students for as many or as few classes as they wish. ACA is unique in its classical approach, but it is also unique in how well it welcomes and supports homeschooled students. Students who are enrolled in at least one class have the opportunity to participate in many other school functions including athletic and academic competitions, House parties and activities, performing arts productions, chapels, Bible study groups, House leadership, and even graduation ceremonies. This makes ACA one of the best values in town for homeschooling families. For more information, visit the ACA website, call the school at 918-832-4600, or email
info@acatulsa.org.
Christian Education Alliance
Christian Education Alliance (CEA) is a unique education ministry to home school families in the Tulsa metro area. Founded in 1994, CEA’s mission is to provide limited classroom instruction to homeschool students, helping parents provide a solid academic foundation for their children. An equally important aspect of the program is a commitment to the promotion of godly character. Classroom instruction is limited to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; most of the students’ time is spent at home under the supervision of their parents. Approximately 50 families are involved with CEA. Interested families must submit an application for an interview and enrollment. For more information on fees, class size, etc., visit the CEA website or call 918-445-3145.
Classical Conversations
Whether you are a veteran homeschooler or considering homeschooling for the first time, you may be interested in a model of education that has transformed western civilization: the classical model of education. The classically educated child is in good company; Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, and the Founding Fathers were all educated by using this timeless method. If you’d like to hear about how the classical model can be reclaimed in your homeschool, we invite you to attend an Information Meeting for Classical Conversations. Visit the main website to find a location that meets your family’s needs.
