About altedu.info

We're Erik and Rebecca, homeschool parents who built altedu.info because we wished something like it had existed when we started.

Navigating alternative education meant hours of searching across scattered blogs, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth recommendations. We wanted a single, well-organized place where families could find books, articles, legal guides, organizations, and videos — all in one spot, sorted in a way that actually made sense.

Everything here is free to use. We will never ask for your email address to access content, and we have no interest in selling your data. We are stewards of your privacy — full stop.

The content is AI-assisted, but reviewed and directed by real human beings. We think that's an honest way to build something at this scale, and we wanted you to know it.

Whether you are a parent exploring Montessori for your toddler, a homeschooling family navigating state law, a teenager curious about self-directed learning, or an educator founding a microschool — altedu.info is designed to help you find what you need.

How Content is Organized

Every piece of content on altedu.info is tagged on two axes: educational methodology (e.g., Montessori, Waldorf, Unschooling) and target audience (e.g., Parents of Preschoolers, Homeschooling Families, Educators). This dual taxonomy lets you quickly filter to exactly the content most relevant to your situation.

We currently track 25 educational methodologies and 15 audience segments. The taxonomy is designed to grow.

How Content is Curated

Content is added through a combination of editorial curation and automated feed aggregation. All aggregated content is reviewed by a human editor before publishing. We link to original sources and never reproduce copyrighted content in full.

Legal references are compiled from publicly available sources and verified quarterly. They provide plain-English summaries of relevant laws — not legal advice.
