• Socializing with like-minded people

It is difficult to make genuine friendships with peers in a formal classroom, due to shorter recess breaks and unwanted academic and peer pressures. Homeschool organizations mostly incorporate various social activities like community events or sports and cultural activities to reinforce friendships and bonds within similar-minded and independent community of homeschoolers.
