                                       Welcome Homeschool Families!

Many homeschool families find it daunting to prepare their children for a secular society while maintaining their faith-based values. It is often difficult and expensive for these families to access nonpartisan instructional resources in history and civics that are both accurate and free from unwanted biases. Homeschool students need comprehensive resources in this discipline to succeed in state and college testing.

Our 32-year-old nonprofit foundation believes in ensuring educational equity. We recognize that homeschooling is the nation’s only education sector where the concerns and welfare of students and their families are identical to the interests and priorities of schools they attend. The lack of access to federal, state or local funding makes obtaining quality instructional resources even more problematic. Americans All's role as an aggregator and distributor of vetted resources that meet homeschool needs in social studies has improved the landscape. We leave all content, curriculum and instructional decisions to individual families and do not publish or share members' contact information.

Using Web-based storytelling, Americans All encourages individuals and families joining Americans All to record, share and archive their stories—in multiple languages, if desired—to demonstrate their ethnic, cultural and/or civic pride for the benefit of friends and future generations. Part of the story can be password protected. We invest more than half of the membership revenue generated by our legacy preservation component to improve K–12 social studies instruction for all students. History and civics are key to preparing students to succeed in our nation’s democracy, economy and workforce.

The history of our nation is deeply tied to immigration, and ancestors of all Americans came here from diverse locations. Legacy stories share these experiences and offer insight, helping make history come alive for today’s students. Moreover, by researching and writing legacy stories, students learn more about their own ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Nonpartisan resources in our current collection includes:

• Texts on historical population groups, immigration policy and major points of entry;
• A 412-page timeline with multiple perspectives on events that have shaped our nation’s history;
• More than 300 period-specific photographs and 5 posters; and
• A music CD with 22 original recordings of historic songs and a theme song emphasizing the importance of education to our nation’s future.
