Homeschool Networks – America First Education Standards (AFES)
Empowering Families to Take Control of Education
Homeschooling is the ultimate expression of school choice and parental rights. Families across America are rejecting the failing public school system and choosing to educate their children at home with values, rigor, and real-world skills.
At America First Education Standards (AFES), we support homeschool families and co-ops by providing accreditation that recognizes academic excellence, traditional values, and freedom from government control.
AFES-accredited homeschool networks benefit from:
✅ Recognition of academic rigor and curriculum excellence.
✅ Legal & policy resources to protect homeschooling rights.
✅ Guidance on structuring a strong, America First education at home.
✅ Connection to a nationwide network of like-minded families.
If you are a homeschool family or part of a co-op, AFES offers a trusted accreditation to showcase your commitment to high-quality, traditional education.
Why AFES Accreditation is Essential for Homeschooling

AFES accreditation helps families push back against bureaucratic control while ensuring homeschool students receive a recognized, academically strong education.
