No headquarters other than your house. And if you are truly homeschooling (not doing public school at home) then you will need to supply your books.

the homeschool program I used was Christian Liberty (CLASS).they're pretty near Chicago - Arlington Heights. While they do not offer online classes, they do have more online support now.

There is a K12 virtual school if you're in the Chicago school district. They use K12 like I do, but I use it independently (pay for it myself). It's a wonderful curriculum.

Do yourself a favor and dont home school your kids. My niece did it to her kids and the oldest is like 12 and cant read. She has created 5 social rejects kids. Please have them learn from a real school for you sake and theirs and mankind as well.
