San Francisco Bay Area Gifted Homeschoolers

We welcome requests for membership from San Francisco Bay Area families who are homeschooling intellectually gifted children. Please read About Us for our mission and goals.

Potential members should be:

• • residents of the San Francisco Bay area living within one hour of the central Peninsula (e.g., Redwood City).
• • explicit in their introductory emails about their children's intellectual giftedness. We want to see a clear indication that you have researched giftedness and, as a result, have identified your children as such. We want members who have come to understand that giftedness affects every aspect of how their children learn and experience the world. (See our Giftedness resource page.)
• • homeschooling their children via any legal option, from charter program to Private School Affidavit (see our Homeschooling resource page).
• • willing to contribute to the group; participation is required.  Meeting and getting to know other members, arranging and/or participating in field trips, classes, or other get-togethers, and making contributions to our email list are some of the ways our members help to create a vibrant community of gifted home learners.
• • prepared to share basic personal information with other members of the group (names and ages of children, the city where you live).  We are not, nor do we wish to be, an anonymous group.

Our Google group is our main online space, incorporating our mailing list and online discussion archive, and providing access to our private website. You must use an email address for membership that is associated with your (free) Google account. Please see our page about Google accounts if you aren't sure what this means.

If you are ready to help us grow and develop our community, please see our membership request page.

If you have a question that isn't answered here, please contact membership@sfbaghs.org.
