Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling in Michigan

November 11, 2013 by Jen 14 Comments

Welcome to everything you wanted to know and more about homeschooling in Michigan. We have compiled the best of the best so you don’t have to spend hours researching, you can get to the fun part – actually homeschooling your children!
I know, we don’t live in Michigan anymore!  It is a little strange for a Florida homeschooler to be posting about homeschooling in Michigan.  But this project has been in the works for quite a long time and we started when I was living in Michigan.   Amy and I are just now ready to share the finished project.  This is a great resource!
A special thanks to Amy, she did a ton of work on the project while I was preoccupied with our move.  Thanks Amy!
