Introduction/Welcome Message:
Homeschooled Kids & Co. is a local (Atmore) Christian based support group for home educators which has grown over the past ten years to include members from Escambia counties Alabama and Florida as well as Baldwin County, AL.
Our history: Our group was formed in the 1990's when local families, who were homeschooling, decided to come together for support and fellowship.
In 2000 the group was officially named Homeschooled Kids & Co. Coordinated by volunteer members, HK&C has activities consisting of moms' meetings, field trips, extra-curricular group classes, organized P.E., parties and service projects.
We currently have forty-nine families enrolled representing approximately 140 students grades K-4 through twelve. Families pay a yearly membership fee ($30 per family) which entitles their children to participate in HK&C activities.
If you are currently home educating in Escambia counties Alabama or Florida or the surrounding area we would love to have you join us.
