About Us
Our Story
Over twenty years ago, a group of homeschool moms saw the need for a homeschool group in Madison County. Together, the laid they foundation for Wellspring Homeschool Community. Over a decade ago, the group became an officially recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. From the beginning, the mission of Wellspring Homeschool Community has always been the same. We are a Christian-based community of homeschool families joining together to offer programs that enrich, instruct, and provide a social outlet for the homeschooled children of Madison County and surrounding areas. We are a Christian-run organization that looks to God to lead and guide as our community grows.
