An Introvert’s Guide to HSRC, the Discord Server for Homeschoolers

The secure and patient space you’ve been looking for

Let’s start with the most important thing to know about HSR Chat: we value everyone’s safety and comfort above everything else. No member of The Homeschoolers’s Chat will ever be pressured to take part in any conversation or event against their will. We offer some great opportunities for socialization, but whether you would like to participate or not is entirely up to you.

HSRC was founded by an extremely shy homeschooler, (that’s me, Anne) with more than enough social anxiety for one person. The Homeschooler’s Chat works hard to guarantee that every member feels welcome and inspired to come back to the space over and over again. We know what it’s like to feel alone, and it’s our goal to bring a sense of community and support into your day.

So, what can you expect when you join the Discord server for homeschoolers?

Expect to be greeted! Our users love to welcome new members into the homeschooler’s chat. Don’t worry about being overwhelmed though! While you can look forward to a simple “hello” or “welcome”, our users know how intimidating it can feel to join a new space. Because of this, everyone will be happy to help you out if you have questions, but there’s no pressure to get involved or share anything about yourself if you’re not ready.

On the subject of sharing information, be sure to check out our information about staying safe on Discord to have the best and safest experience on the platform.

When you join, you’ll also find a guide, like a tutorial in a video game, which will explain to you our rules, how our group chat works, and a bit about our background.

How do you find homeschooling and unschooling friends in HSRC?

You’ll find opportunities to introduce yourself, learn about the existing members, get to know our staff team, and check out the safety measures we have in place as you explore our online homeschool group.

There are unique areas within The Homeschooler’s Chat where you can create a post listing your hobbies, interests, what you’re looking for in a friend, things you like and dislike, and whatever else you would like for the community to know about you. Consider using our unique about me form for this step.

In addition to creating your own post, you can browse through posts from other users and leave a comment if they seem like someone you might get along with or would like to know more about. This is one of the easiest ways to connect with peers who share experiences and interests with you!
