Our Mission

Independent Education Network was born from lived experience, in the classroom as teachers, in homeschool communities, and as virtual learners ourselves.

As educators, we know teaching is most impactful when you can focus on what students are genuinely curious about, not just what you're required to cover.

As advocates for homeschooling families and families seeking non-traditional education, we understand the challenge of finding high-quality middle and high school classes and the importance of educators who understand their students' experiences and reflect their identities.

As virtual learners, we've experienced firsthand how online learning provides the structure and flexibility students need to thrive.

Today, families seeking non-traditional education continue to struggle to find meaningful, high-quality classes taught by educators who understand their children's experiences and offer courses that reflect who they are.

That's where Independent Education Network comes in. We connect passionate teachers with students seeking engaging learning experiences. Our goal is to create a space where teachers can teach freely, and students can access the classes they need from instructors who genuinely understand and support them.
