I created this website to help homeschoolers, unschoolers, and any independent learners in the greater Grand Rapids area find secular and apolitical educational resources. You’ll also find a few superb resources further afield. I focus mainly on resources for older children and teens (10-19 yrs old) – a group that is generally under-served, but when I find a great resource for younger kids, I’ll include it. Posts are entered as I find them, in fits and spurts, because time is at a premium around here.
If you know about about a secular and apolitical program, class or activity, please send me an email by clicking on the Contact GRLE link on the tab above. You are welcome no matter what you believe, your family makeup, where you live, where you come from, or where you’re going in your educational journey. I have daily proof that helping a child learn is a remarkable gift.
If you’re new to homeschooling, you will soon learn that it means your lives will often resemble a path criss-crossed by academics, board-games, sports, music, household chores, friends and much more. I hope you will use this GRLE website for curriculum ideas, support, and community involvement, while remaining independent and true to your family’s own organizational structure and beliefs.
Love the site, love the upgrades! I think the layout is amazingly “cool”. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into this, you are so not spitting into the wind
Hopefully, others will come forward and show their gratitude as well. Keep up the good work!
