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
Depending on how you choose to homeschool, it can be very inexpensive, just a few hundred dollars a year, or it can cost thousands for premium memberships, tutoring or outside classes and activities, larger homeschool co-op fees, supplies and high-priced curricula.
Our umbrella group tries to keep costs low by sharing available classes and resources that any of us are participating in or that we think are good possibilities for others, and also by encouraging our members to contribute to our learning and social community from their areas of talents, interests and expertise. It is possible to get started with a full homeschool plan for less than $100, but it does require some planning and effort.
