Jewish homeschool resources — for every kind of Jewish family.
We’re putting together homeschool resources, curriculum guides, and ways to connect with other Jewish families learning at home. Whether you grew up observant, converted, came to Judaism later in life, or are raising Jewish kids without a community nearby — this is for you.
Request resourcesWho this is for
Families exploring Jewish education for the first time. You might be secular, from an interfaith household, or considering conversion. You want your kids to know where they come from and what Judaism actually teaches — at a pace that fits your family.
Families who came to observance later in life. You didn’t grow up with Hebrew, Torah study, or the rhythm of the Jewish year. You want to give your kids the foundation you didn’t have, without pretending you know things you don’t.
Religious families who want more depth than a local school offers. The local day school doesn’t quite fit, or there isn’t one. You want serious Jewish learning at home, on your terms.
Families who want to connect with other Jewish homeschoolers. You’re looking for a co-op, a study partner for your kids, or just other parents who get it.
What a Jewish homeschool can look like
There’s no one right way. Most Jewish homeschools mix the regular school subjects — math, reading, writing, science, history — with Jewish subjects chosen to fit the family.
Secular or first-generation Jewish families often start with Hebrew language, the holidays, and Jewish history: the parts of Jewish life that feel most immediate and most accessible. More observant families add Torah and the weekly portion, prayer, Jewish law and practice, and eventually rabbinic texts like Mishnah and Talmud.
Many families cover the basics in a formal way and then teach the rest just by living — cooking for Shabbat, celebrating holidays, attending services, visiting Israel. The Jewish part of a Jewish homeschool isn’t only the curriculum.
Finding other families — the co-op question
One of the hardest parts of Jewish homeschooling is that Jewish families are spread out. Even in cities with a visible Jewish community, the homeschooling families may be invisible to each other.
A co-op — a few families meeting weekly to learn together — solves a lot of this. It gives kids friends who share their background, splits the teaching load among parents, and builds a small community around your family’s learning. Co-ops can meet in person or online; they can be weekly or monthly; they can be all-Jewish or mixed. If you’d want to connect with other families near you, let us know in the form below.

Questions we hear often
Can you homeschool Jewishly without being religious?
Yes. Jewish homeschooling works at every level of observance — from secular families who want their kids to know Hebrew, holidays, and Jewish history, to traditional families who want full Torah study at home. The subjects you include are up to you.
What subjects should a Jewish homeschool cover?
Most Jewish homeschools mix regular school subjects (math, science, English, history) with Jewish subjects chosen by the family: Hebrew (spoken or for reading), Torah and the weekly portion, prayer, Jewish holidays, Jewish history, and — for more traditional families — rabbinic teachings, Jewish law, and Jewish ethics.
How do I find other Jewish homeschool families near me?
Jewish homeschool families are spread out. Most people find each other through Chabad, local synagogues, Jewish community groups, or national Jewish homeschool networks online. We’re building a way to connect families in the same area directly — tell us your ZIP in the form above and we’ll reach out when matches appear.
Is there a ready-made Jewish homeschool curriculum?
A few exist, mostly aimed at Orthodox families (Melamed Academy, Torah Live, Ani VeAmi, Kosher Homeschool). For less religious families or families new to Jewish learning, curriculum usually has to be assembled from several sources. That’s what we’re putting together — request a resource guide and tell us what you need.
Can a Jewish homeschool co-op work if we’re the only Jewish family in our area?
Not in person — but online co-ops and study groups do work for isolated families. Several Jewish homeschool communities meet weekly on Zoom for group learning and holiday prep. If you’re in a larger metro, there may be other families closer than you think.
Considering a Jewish day school instead?
If you’re on the fence between homeschool and a Jewish day school, we can help with that too.
