Welcome to WVH

West Valley Homeschoolers has been helping our homeschooling community since the turn of the century

We are an extensive and diverse group with something to offer for all ages...


Our weekly parkday is offered on Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley and a "sister" park day is offered Thursday in the near Conejo Valley, and yet another "sister" begins park days in Agoura on September 11th!


WVHomeschoolers helps members keep up with the various activities available to the Los Angeles, California, homeschooling community by sharing information, and serving as a liaison to the wider community as a whole.

"Homeschooling has a long and successful tradition.  Actually, it has  two traditions:  First, the wealthy have always educated their children at home, some through tutors and others themselves; and second, most of the greatest thinkers, leaders, statesman, entrepreneurs, scientists, and artists of history were self educated."

WHY Homeschool?

Homeschooling is an increasingly popular choice among parents for many reasons, here are just a few:
  • Children's educational and emotional needs are not being served well by schools
  • Avoiding social ills and negative peer influences
  • Building a stronger family and enjoying more time with children
  • Adapting a home study program to best suit their child's needs 
NEW Homeschooler Tips
  • Remember to relax and take  your time, everyone is nervous  at first
  • Take one day at a time, and figure out the best structure for your child as you go along
  • Avoid making costly curriculum purchases as you start off
  • Let your child be your guide and choose materials and course of studies in response to her needs
