Mission Statement
History
Lubavitch Homeschool Umbrella Group was originally formed in 1997 but really gained momentum in 2015 when the Baltimore Jewish homeschooling community mobilized to have an organized group with events and classes available to our kids. We’ve seen a boom in homeschoolers in our community and realized that we needed a social network for parents and kids alike. In these pandemic times, may Hashem help us, we’ve seen another surge of new homeschoolers, who are looking for alternatives to the mainstream schooling practices.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is that
- Children should learn at their own pace while maximizing their freedom to grow and express their individual needs
- Minimize all the red tape that comes with homeschooling.
- Create a collaborative environment for parents to learn from each other on anything homeschooling.

FAQs
We encourage everyone to communicate, work together, offer their particular talents and skills in meaningful ways to the group so that we can energize as a group instead of being lone planets of schooling. We have a WhatsApp Group, please ask to get on it if you are not already, we have a group calendar you could put events on or find possible events, we have regular emails to share events, classes, possibilities and connections of possible use or interest for our homeschooling community (J-LIFT). When you sign up for LHUG, please make sure you are hooked into these groups, they are valuable resources.
We ask that, throughout the year, if possible, everyone offer to the group at least one significant support piece, such as offering a short term class, or organizing a trip for the group or having a regular special interest group meeting (like Chess for 4th-6th grade boys, for example). It makes our group a rich and variegated community to learn in and strengthens our childrens’ social connections in the group, besides expanding their personal growth and skills.
