We are independent homeschooling families connecting both online and in person.

We are not a school or an umbrella school. We do not give grades, create transcripts, or keep records. We do link & post information on this website to help you do these things and have many veteran homeschoolers happy to answer your questions. Each family helps better our community through filling a needed role

Stella Maris utilizes Groupme to ask questions and share thoughts about homeschooling, make prayer requests, as well organize and publicize homeschool events. Our members have access to our online directory to help them plan activities, connect with nearby families, and find others using similar homeschooling methods.

In Person

Stella Maris families are eager to enrich each other’s homeschooling journey through sharing their time and talents. Members generously organize and invite our homeschooling community to their events. These take place throughout Middle Tennessee based on what is convenient for the organizer. We regularly see invites posted to our online calendar for Park Days, Mass & Play Meetups, Clubs, Game Nights, Field Trips, and more.

Website

Stella Maris has put together this website with the goal to connect and equip Catholic Homeschoolers in Middle Tennessee. Members have shared resources they used for homeschooling, current state laws and requirements, curriculum options, and answers to frequently asked questions. We hope this website will be a blessing to you wherever you are in your homeschooling journey.

Stella Maris Membership is free and open to Catholic families currently homeschooling their children in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade or planning to begin homeschooling these grades in the next 6 months.
