ABOUT OURHOMESCHOOL MINISTRY
Welcome to the St. John's Homeschool Ministry! Whether you are a veteran homeschooler or new to the job, having a community & support is key! We are blessed to have many homeschooling families here at St. John's. This is a ministry for parish families looking to find out more about homeschooling, and most of all to form community with each other as well as with the wider Catholic homeschooling community in Loudoun & Northern Virginia.
For more information on any of the homeschool groups/resources discussed below, or to be added to our email list, please contact: Lauren Schierer

HIGHLIGHTS
Homeschool Resources & Groups
Mary's House Homeschool Group
Many St. John's homeschooling families are part of this Catholic homeschooling group. Membership is for Catholic homeschoolers only, and takes members from Loudoun & Fairfax Co, with most events in Leesburg or Sterling. Mary's House uses Google Groups to maintain a list-serve where you can ask an army of veteran homeschoolers any questions you have. It also hosts many homeschool events throughout the year for both kids & parents, for example: holiday parties, service projects, field trips, field day, international day, moms' nights, curriculum shares, info nights, and more! Membership is a deal at $10/year.
