Vision/Purpose:

LIGHT's vision is to ensure that all families are aware that homeschooling in New York is a legal, viable option as an educational choice.

Religious Affiliation:

CREED: LIGHT is a secular organization. We welcome people of all faiths, belief systems, religions (or lack thereof), ethnicity and abilities to come together as fellow home schoolers as long as they do not infringe upon the right of other members with differing beliefs. Our members peacefully coexist under the umbrella of home schooling

Composition:

Application Procedure and Requirements:

Email webspinner@longislandhomeschool.com with your name, number and the town you reside. A LIGHT representative will contact you.

Membership Benefits:

GOAL: Our goal is to offer the Long Island area a stepping stone in which they can:
~ gain home school information
~ network with other home schooling families
~ create cooperative learning opportunities
~ create home school choice support
~ collectively direct the culture of the group

All members are invited and encouraged to participate in the planning and running of our group.
