Looking for homeschool support?

Connecting Marine families with experienced homeschool moms who understand military life.

Homeschooling through PCS moves, deployments, changing state requirements, and shifting family seasons brings unique challenges. Tun Tavern Fellowship connects Marine families with experienced homeschool moms who can offer encouragement, perspective, and practical support.


Homeschooling in Marine Corps Life

Military families know how quickly life can change. Homeschooling may include:

  • frequent PCS moves
  • interrupted support networks
  • deployments and training cycles
  • changing state requirements
  • balancing home life, discipleship, and academics

Homeschooling can also provide stability, flexibility, and meaningful opportunities to nurture your children’s faith.

Tun Tavern Fellowship wants to help you find encouragement and connection along the way.
