History and Philosophy
Dayspring was begun in the school year of 1995-1996 by a small group of homeschoolers in the Raleigh area who believed that all homeschoolers need and deserve support in their homeschooling endeavor. The group blossomed in its first year to include over 40 homeschooling families and is continuing to grow. Dayspring is a Christian organization governed by Christian principles. Dayspring is open to everyone who homeschools regardless of religion as long as they can respect and defer to the policies and principles set by the Board.
The purpose of Dayspring is to offer support, encouragement and information to homeschooling families.
