Our Mission

We believe every child deserves an education tailored to their unique strengths, interests, and learning style. NYC Homeschool exists to empower families with the resources, guidance, and community support needed to create exceptional homeschooling experiences in America's most dynamic urban environment.

Our mission is to make homeschooling accessible, compliant, and enriching for all New York City families, regardless of their background or experience level.

Educational Philosophy

We embrace a child-centered, flexible approach to education that honors each student's individual journey. Our philosophy combines:

  • Personalized Learning: Tailoring curriculum and pace to match each child's developmental stage and interests
  • Real-World Integration: Leveraging NYC's museums, cultural institutions, and diverse communities as living classrooms
  • Academic Excellence: Maintaining rigorous standards while fostering creativity and critical thinking
  • Social-Emotional Growth: Building confidence, independence, and strong interpersonal skills through community engagement
  • Family Partnership: Supporting parents as primary educators while providing expert guidance and resources

Our Story

Founded in 2015 by a group of experienced NYC homeschooling parents and educators, NYC Homeschool emerged from a simple need: comprehensive, city-specific support for urban homeschooling families. What began as informal meetups in Central Park has grown into a thriving organization serving hundreds of families across all five boroughs.

Over the years, we've built strong relationships with the NYC Department of Education, established partnerships with cultural institutions, and created a robust network of resources specifically designed for the unique challenges and opportunities of homeschooling in New York City.

Today, we're proud to be the leading resource for NYC homeschooling families, offering everything from compliance guidance to curriculum support, community events to college preparation assistance.
