In my opinion, the Cincinnati area is a fantastic place to live if you are a home school family. We have tremendous opportunities to get involved with fellow homeschool families. One of the ways you can do this is to get involved in an educational cooperative. Here is a listing of the ones that are in the area. Call as soon as possible since some have limited space available. If I have not listed a co-op that you know is in the area, please contact me with information and I will add it to the list.
