Homeschooling parents sometimes
organize special classes for subjects like foreign language or science.
Most of the classes are not listed here, but may be announced via the
newsgroup. Sometimes classes are not announced at all - they are filled
by word of mouth, so homeschoolers need to develop a good network of
homeschool friends.
