For Librarians
Resources for the homeschool shelf, without a sales pitch.
Every Homeschool is an independent, reader-supported portal for American homeschool families, not affiliated with any single curriculum publisher, church, or advocacy organization. The editorial team catalogs curriculum across every method and worldview on one public rubric, tracks homeschool law and ESA funding in all fifty states, and publishes a weekly dispatch on what changed. Full editorial standards and funding disclosure are at /about.
Patrons asking a reference desk about homeschooling tend to ask one of a handful of questions: is this legal where I live, what does it cost, where do I start, and what is a co-op or an ESA. The five resources below answer those questions directly and are built to be linked from a library website, printed for a handout rack, or cited in a program flyer.

No advertising on this page
This page carries no advertising and no affiliate links. Four of the five resources above, the state-law guide, the printables, the glossary, and the convention calendar, are the same: no ads, no affiliate links, nothing routed through a retailer on the way to the reader.
The fifth, the starter field guide, follows Every Homeschool’s standard editorial practice described at /about#how-we-make-money: it cites outside books alongside its own reporting, and a small number of those citations are ordinary retail links that carry Every Homeschool’s standard, disclosed affiliate tag. The guide is listed here because it answers the “where do I start” question more completely than anything else on the site; librarians who want a page with zero commercial links to hand a patron should use the four resources above it.
