San Francisco Bay Area Gifted Homeschoolers

We are a private group of families homeschooling intellectually gifted children in the San Francisco Bay Area. We call our group “BAGHS” (pronounced “bags”) for short.

We believe that giftedness affects every aspect of the way a child experiences the world. Our children may also be twice-exceptional in various ways. Homeschooling allows our children the time and space to be themselves, while learning at the higher level and faster pace they may need. See our recommended resources on giftedness and homeschooling.

We share resources and serve as a local support network for families who are independently facilitating their gifted children's learning. We find friends among the parents, children, and teens within our community.

To facilitate connections and friendships among our member families, we ask that our members live within a one-hour radius of Redwood City, California. This is the area in which members may meet for classes, presentations, or park days. We encourage all members to organize the types of gatherings, field trips, or classes they want to have. To help facilitate that, we maintain a mailing list and a private website.

We welcome local homeschooling families who are interested in helping us create a thriving community of families with gifted children who learn outside of K-12 schools. If you would like to participate in our group, please see our Membership page. If you have questions about membership, please email membership@sfbaghs.org.
