And we're here to help you get there through self-education, camaraderie, and laughter.
"The ideas and thoughts that are shared here have been encouraging and challenging as I learn. I’ve also loved the spring seminars and the mentorship opportunities on the Sophie level!"
— Sarah Springer, Sistership Sophie
If you want to skip the shallow tips and tricks that usually passes for homeschool help –
If you hate the superficial positivity that usually passes for homeschool encouragement –
If you long for rich, meaningful conversations about not only homeschooling, but also all the spheres of knowledge that are opening up to you as you read –
If you want to read more and think more with likeminded moms –
You belong in The Sistership.
But, like our children, we don't have to remain as we are. We can learn and grow.
The Sistership is a community founded by classical homeschool moms to support the development and growth the homeschool moms who are – knowingly or not – an integral part of the revival of the classical tradition.
Find your sisters.
Pursue the education you wish you had & learn to pass it on.
In Sistership I am encouraged to read more and think deeper--it's great!

We are passionate about reclaiming and pursuing our own education, and we know that real education happens best in community.
We desire to see a grassroots resurgence in the liberal arts, especially dialectic, the lost art of truth-seeking conversation.
So we created a not-on-Facebook place for reading, thinking homeschool moms to gather and engage in meaningful, fruitful conversation.
We called it Sistership, and we'd love to have you join us.

Find camaraderie and inspiration to keep you engaged in the project of true education - for yourself and for your kids.
"Here I find humble women driven by the desire for knowledge. They challenge me to continue to seek the truth, and to gaze upon the Lord’s beauty and truth and goodness. They nourish my mind and always give me more to read or seek. I am encouraged to continue to learn while being a better teacher to my children."
- Sabelle Millimono
"FB can be draining and discouraging but this space spreads a feast of ideas which encourage growth, feed the soul, and inspire."
- Clarissa Wilson
"I enjoy having a place to think about my own formation and education, not just that of my children. I've graduated two and have two left to homeschool, so the day is not too far off when I will not be actively homeschooling others, but I believe that I'm born a person and need to feed my mind on ideas as much as my children need to."
- Jami Marstall
"As a beginner homeschooling momma who is trying to reeducate myself I find this group so life giving, inspiring and motivating towards self-discipline in a way I have never been before."
- Felicia Buhler
But we can give a lifelong love of knowledge and learning when we ourselves have that lifelong love and practice. Let's keep the fire flaming within ourselves.
The best teachers are found in the best books. In Sistership, we read much more than just books on education. We read widely.
Reading does you no good if you don't think about it. In Sistership, we don't let information go in one ear and out the other. We think deeply.
We don't truly know or believe an idea until we're practicing it. Virtue is our aim, so we always bring ideas around to practices. We apply faithfully.
Own it. Grow into it. Live it.
Find your sisters.
Pursue the education you wish you had & learn to pass it on.
