The Federal Way Homeschoolers’ Support Association will hold a special event 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 28 to celebrate National School Choice week.

This event is called Homeschooling 101, which will feature a presentation on the basics of getting started with homeschooling, and a chance to have homeschooling questions answered.

The Federal Way Homeschoolers’ Support Association is a branch of Homeschoolers’ Support Association which is a nonprofit organization in south King County whose purposes are to assist parents who are considering homeschooling to make an informed choice, facilitate an informed community awareness of homeschooling, and offer support and information to all homeschooling families regardless of philosophies, methodologies, or beliefs.

The association is one of more than 12,000 educational groups participating in National School Choice week (Jan. 24–30). The goal of the week is to shine a positive spotlight on all types of education options for children — from traditional public schools to public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning and homeschooling. The event will be held at Federal Way Regional Library.

“We are thrilled to have [the association] participate in National School Choice week by holding this special event,” said Andrew Campanella, National School Choice week president. “The week provides an opportunity for families in communities across America to discover more about the education options available to children.”
