Scholars On The Home Front is a Site Created for Home School Parents and Students in South East Idaho.

Scholars On The Home Front does not represent any single group, but instead it brings the ideas, resources and activities of several groups together in one place. Further information on particular groups may be found on the Helpful Links page at the left.

Words Of Wisdom: Who gossips to you will gossip of you.
