Thank you for choosing PIE as your Third Option Homeschool Association.
As a member of PIE, the home-school family enjoys the security of a legal covering while being given the freedom to choose and implement an educational program that best fits their child’s needs. PIE was established in 1996 out of the belief that education should be affordable and non-intrusive.
