Common Ground
Secular conservative homeschool guide
For families who don't fit the boxes
Most homeschool lists are either secular-but-progressive or conservative-but-religious. You need both secular and conservative — and that unicorn is hard to find. Common Ground vets curriculum, co-ops, and classes so you don't have to guess.
I send my kids to a religious co-op every week because there's no secular conservative alternative nearby. I spend hours every year vetting curriculum for hidden agendas. I built this because our Facebook group keeps asking for the same thing:
“It is difficult to find groups that are both conservative AND secular — if you can invent an app for that unicorn, that would be great.”
This isn't another directory. It's a trust layer that answers one question: Is this safe for our family?
Every resource scored secular↔religious and progressive↔conservative, plus optional trigger tags.
Safe, use with caution, or avoid — with a one-line explanation you can act on immediately.
No crowdsourced noise. A parent in the niche reviews every entry before it goes live.
