Park days. Field trips. Friendships that last a lifetime.

Black homeschooling grew 5x since 2020. The infrastructure didn't.

16%

of Black families now homeschool

Up from 3.3% pre-pandemic. A movement, not a trend. Yet coordination still happens through scattered Facebook groups.

dedicated safe platforms exist

No private network with parental controls built for this community. Families improvise with tools designed for everyone, built for no one.

Every child deserves a village. We're building the digital one.

UrbanHalo is the infrastructure for a movement that already exists. Black homeschool families have been building community through church basements, park days, and group chats for decades. Now they get a home that's as intentional, safe, and beautiful as the community itself.
