Listing Structures

We are so glad you are sharing your homeschool resource with the local homeschool community!  You should view our Terms and Conditions before posting a listing, and here is an overview of the listing structures we have set in place.

Why have paid listings?

- Helps to maintain the expense of the website.  BHC is a volunteer, support community.

- Encourages organizations and organizers to be committed to maintaining their listings.

PLEASE NOTE

Essential Church School is the sponsoring organization for the Birmingham Homeschoolers Community.  It is a 501(c)(3) organization which supports educational services for homeschool families.  All payments are processed through Essential.

Event

Special events or activities open for registration or participation should use this listing type.  (eg, Homeschool Day, Field Trip Experience, Community Event)
