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
This is not required, but if you opt in, this testing must be arranged by contacting the principal of your specific public school system. This does not include SATs or other federal level testing. If you say on this form (homeschool notification form) that you want to participate in testing, (by selecting Part B, 2A on the form), please note that you will need to contact schools (principal) in your jurisdiction during February of each year regarding the testing for grades K-5, and in September to arrange testing for 8th graders. There are no state standardized tests for grades 6,7, 9, 10, 11 or 12. If your child participates in testing, tests will be submitted to the Maryland State Department of Education for grading and in turn, test results will be mailed directly to parents.
