ABOUT OURHOMESCHOOL MINISTRY
Welcome to the St. John's Homeschool Ministry! Whether you are a veteran homeschooler or new to the job, having a community & support is key! We are blessed to have many homeschooling families here at St. John's. This is a ministry for parish families looking to find out more about homeschooling, and most of all to form community with each other as well as with the wider Catholic homeschooling community in Loudoun & Northern Virginia.
For more information on any of the homeschool groups/resources discussed below, or to be added to our email list, please contact: Lauren Schierer
