Just in case you don't know where that is, just SE of Ocala about 20 miles.

[Christine in FL]

I'm new to the forum, but glad to see so many people responding from FL. Sometimes it feels as if I'm the only one around who pursues this type of education for my kids :)

[Diane]

I'm about an hour a half from Orlando. Near St. Augustine. :)

[Emily in FL]

Am I the only one from the panhandle? Stephanie in FL, are you a part of GTHS? I used to live in Lake County and miss that group very much!

[GothicGyrl]

It's Flori-DUH :) and I'm in Tampa, Ruskin actually.


:) We need a Florida meet.

[Stephanie in FL]

Hi Emily. Yes, I am in GTHS. It is amazing how much the group has grown since you left. I used to live in Fruitland Park, then moved a year and a half ago to this side of the county. Before GTHS, I ran CHF on the west side of the county. It is nice to "virtually" meet you. :)

[Mary in Florida]

We're in Orlando as well.

[Basketmaker Amy]

We're in Clearwater.

[Christine in FL]

We live in a rural community (Trenton) 40 miles west of Gainesville. I am looking for a co-op group~particularly for middle/high school classes~that meets within about an hour's drive from here. Anyone have any information they could share?

Christine,

North Florida Home Schoolers meets in Gainesville. You can get in touch through the yahoo group - NorthFloridaHomeSchoolers
They offer once a week classes.

Classical Conversations is also planning to start up this coming school year in Gainesville. I received an email about it and could give you a contact name if you are interested.

Hi there...We are in South West Miramar...just south of you. I am here with my 3 kiddos ...12, 7 and 5. We just started our school year 3 weeks ago....ahhh...Im the meanest mom on the block! We've been doing very light work since March. We are doing tons of play dates at the park and pool.

[jkwynn]

Cool. We should set up a park date once we get settled in! I'm interested in hearing about the ART your kids are doing. It's amazing!

[mchel210]

She is starting back in Sept. I believe. We do them around the corner. I imagine the lady will come if you set up a class at your home as well. She does 2 homes here on the same days. She lives in Boca. She really is great.

[scooby-do]

Isn't there anyone here from Coral Springs(N. Broward). We tried home schooling groups, but couldn't find a good fit; so we just do our own thing with other hs families at each others houses.. This is my official first post on this forum.(Yippie:thumbup:

[khope1]

I grew up there, but now am in Palm Beach. Welcome. :)
Kimmi

[Kfamily]

And yes it is really nice:001_smile: (but small). We live in the Panhandle across the bridge from Destin.

[mchel210]

My friends are so nice up in coral springs. I wish I lived next to them. They have prek up to 7th grade. Mixture of ages. They are in Margate and one is off McNab area.

I went up a few weeks ago and we went to the coral springs pool during the day . That was fun. They are in PSG but they dont do much with them. I think they try to get together out of the group. I was in Hearts down in South Broward. That is a nice group but all in south broward.

There is a fun park group by sawgrass I think on Thursdays.

[Melissa in FL]

Hi all,
I'm in Tampa! We go to Co-op over in Pinellas Park!

When I was a nanny a million years ago, the family I worked for in Florida lived outside of tampa (10 min?). They were in a little place called Riverview. Brandon is right there, as well. Both of those places seemed pretty safe.
