Any Richmond, VA area homeschoolers out there?

[HomeschoolingMy4]

I went back 6 pages and only saw NOVA.. anyone from near Richmond? We're in Powhatan.

I am in Prince Edward County, not THAT close, but not far either, and definitely not northern Virginia. Whole other world here. This caught my eye because I have 2 girls near your two girls' ages- 10 (rising 5th grade) and 5 (rising K'er).

I grew up in Ashland. My sister lives in Powhatan so I am there from time to time. I am currently in Hampton...about 2 hours away.

I'm in Hampton too.

I know of hsers in the Richmond area. I don't think any are here though

[HomeschoolingMy4]

LOL Prince George is close enough for me! Wonder where the rest of the RVA Classical homeschoolers are..

I'm near Ashland!

[LBS]

I'm North of Ashland, in the northwestern corner of Hanover County. I tell people I'm halfway between Richmond and Fredericksburg. If I still get puzzled looks, I say "go to King's Dominion and turn West and go for ten miles". Everybody seems to know where KD is, if they have kids. I don't have an active network because I am just homeschooling one kid thru middle and high school. Plus, we're two counties away.

I think there are LOTS of homeschoolers in Richmond. Also, I see ads on Craigslist sometimes from your area or maybe Chesterfield, I believe.

Keep asking and folks will pop up.

Did you check the groups listed on Yahoo and at HEAV and VaHomeschoolers?

Good luck!

I am in Sussex, an hour south of Richmond. We are about an hour from everything we do (church, shopping, dentist...you name it). We have a houseful and run an organic farm. You can see us here: www.providencefarmva.blogspot.com. I confess I have not updated the blog in a while....life is busy here. But at least you can check out what we do. Nice to meet you!

Warmly,
Stacey

I grew up in Mechanicsville. We live in Mecklenburg County (Southside Virginia) now, but we continue to head to the Richmond area for fieldtrips, etc. Ds is going into 10th this year, and ds into 6th, so similar ages to your oldest 2.

Glad you started this thread - maybe more Virginians will pop up.

I especially wish I could find a debate club. Do you know anything about that?

[Hunters8]

We have a robust group of debaters in our church in Newport News. Most of the events are at Regent University. If you would like for me to pass your contact information to someone, you can pm me and I would be happy to do it.

I am in Richmond, near the Seminary and the Diamond. I am homeschooling Ds (15), Dd (11), and Ds (almost 5) is just tagging along for now. We've been homeschooling 9 years now (can't believe it).
We are enjoying the summer off! Especially me.

To Hunters8: Thanks for the offer. I'm going to pm you to learn more about debate. (Assuming I can figure out how to do that - hahaha)

To Kristine in VA: Your oldest two sound very close in age to my two. I noticed you said you live near the seminary. Do you have a connection to the seminary other than living nearby? (My husband teaches a class there . . . )

[cseitter]

I live in Chesterfield (off Hull St). I have a DS (15) DD & DS (4.5) and a DD(3) and a step-daughter that is in PS that is 7. We are taking the summer off to but plan to start up after labor day.

[vontinney]

Right now we're in Louisa Co, which is 40 minutes NW of Richmond, but we're moving to Glen Allen in August...
