In October 2008, 8 families were gathering together to meet regularly and do field trips.
These 8 families also had a desire to meet others in the homeschooling community from many countries, cultures and faiths. In early October, the idea to form an Yahoo Email Group was formed and within the month, 30 families were a part of this ever growing community! The homeschooling students had a contest to name our new group and "In the SHADE" won, standing for International Students Homeschooling in the Abu Dhabi Emirate.
Today, a year later, 80 families are part of the In the SHADE community, building friendships through the E-group and now, in real life, through ADHSA events and community events, like our perennial favourite - PARK days. Families not just from Abu Dhabi, but the all the emirates, and beyond.
Happy 1st Birthday In the SHADE!!
