Our Story

There once was a group of courageous people who shared the common journey of homeschooling their own children. They didn’t have all of the answers, but they sure did have a lot of questions!

As time passed and their children grew, they leaned more and more into each other to get through the dry curriculum. They brainstormed creative ways to teach core subjects and simply mentored one another while sharing their knowledge and skills with the children around them. They became a group dedicated to making their children’s home education all the things they wished they had experienced in their own education and missed.

Through their trial and error and with a willingness to try pretty much anything (please, can someone just suggest the perfect math curriculum?), what started as families helping each other cover the gaps became a group of people sharing all they had learned with a larger and larger community to help them find their way, too.


ILA is on a mission to help families successfully navigate home education.

Because we know the benefits of homeschooling first hand, we are committed to keeping opportunities available for future generations. We have a framework of support that empowers parents to keep moving forward.
