World Wide Home School
Clubs are an important part of our program and, with the secure live classroom and virtual world space technology available to us, there are numerous clubs and social groups that meet together. We add clubs as there is interest and staff, parent volunteers or others to host them.
Our current list of clubs for middle and high school age students includes:
| Photography | Virtual Worlds |
| One Green World | Web Design |
| Writers Club | Fine Arts Group |
| Book Club | Microworlds & Robotics |
| Parents Survival Guide |

- Fine Arts Group: If you're a person who expresses yourself with paint, charcoal, ink or other fine arts medium, you'll want to join this group of creative and imaginative people. Sharing their work along with discussions with amateur and professional artists, gallery owners, museum staff and others keep this lively group humming.

- Microworlds and Robotics From beginner to advanced, our group of avid explorers delve into the Microworlds EX application and its use in robotics as well as in teaching math, computer languages and more. This is a great club for those wanting to build and reinforce their math skills by putting them to use in a practical way. A lot of fun!

- Book Club: Our program involves a lot of reading but this group can't get enough and shares their love of reading and their thoughts with each other. (Students can receive course credit for their participation in this club.)
- Parents Survival Guide to Online Schooling: A fun group of our parents who encourage each other, sharing the joys and challenges of schooling at home online. Hosted by Twila Smoker, a mom of both home schooled and online schooled students, along with several other parents, this group is extremely helpful and supportive, especially to the families newly joining our school community.
We encourage all of our students (and parents too!) to participate in one or more clubs or social groups.
