Homeschooling 101

ENRICHri offers a variety of programs and benefits for our community. Private Facebook groups, support groups, specialized classes for the children, workshops, classes offered by community vendors and businesses, field trips, teen & tween social events, and various locations for cooperative programs. 


We encourage our members to suggest ideas and help set up programs that will be of interest to our community. As an all volunteer organization, we rely on our members to help keep the group running smoothly, sharing their talents and interests as they are able. Volunteering is not only essential to our every day operation, it is fun and a great way to form relationships with other homeschooling families.

For Parents

Homeschooling isn’t just about the kids. Parents also need support, community, guidance, encouragement, and a place to make friendships. ENRICHri offers ongoing informational sessions and gatherings for parents such as Introduction to Homeschooling, Homeschooling High School, Selecting Curriculum, Special Needs, Vision Workshop, and Mom/Dad’s Night Out. 

Introduction to Homeschooling:

A Workshop for Parents New to Homeschooling or Interested in Homeschooling

If you are new to homeschooling, thinking about homeschooling, or wanting to know more, we strongly encourage you to attend an “Introduction to Homeschooling” workshop. This is open to the public. You do not need to be a member to attend.


These sessions are held monthly at various locations across the state and can help you with what you need to get started.


The topics that will be discussed include:

  • Homeschooling in Rhode Island: state laws, district policies and what to submit
  • 101 Reasons Families Choose to Homeschool
  • Curriculum Planning: Resources, Learning Styles, Homeschooling Methods, A Typical Homeschool Day
  • The “S” word : Socialization


ENRICHri volunteers with many years of homeschooling experience will present this program that covers the basics of homeschooling.


After the program, the presenters welcome you to stay and chat!


Please register if you plan to attend, so we have an idea how many to expect. View our Public Events Calendar to register.
