How to start a low-cost church school (in session 5 days a week) 
or a church cooperative with other parents and their homeschooled children (meet once a week)

Here are excellent sources of home-school programs and curricula to help you start home schooling on your own, to set up a low-cost church school, or to start a church cooperative

don't have to be a Christian to homeschool your children.
