Our Story
Built for families,

We work alongside It's My Miracle, Miraculous Transitions, and the DCA Network, with educators, curriculum designers, and academic authors building the future of independent, values-rooted education.
“Working collaboratively to achieve shared goals with members and partners, building the future of independent education, one family and one community at a time.”

What We Stand For
Our core values
Independence
We champion independent learning programs. Home schools, private cooperatives, and family-run institutions deserve the same quality support as any institution.
Cooperation
Every educator, institution, and family that joins FWS contributes to a shared mission. We are stronger together than apart.
Excellence
Every FWS educator brings expertise, structure, and commitment. We hold ourselves and our community to a high standard in everything we do.
Access
Quality education should not be limited by geography, resources, or institutional affiliation. FWS is built to break down those barriers.
