About Us

EHE is a welcoming and supportive community of homeschool parents who share resources, experiences, and encouragement. Our group is dedicated to fostering connection, collaboration, and growth among families navigating the homeschool journey. Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler or just getting started, you'll find a space to share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and celebrate successes.

We host regular meetups to discuss a variety of homeschool topics to help enrich your homeschooling experience. This group also serves as a platform for building friendships, finding co-op opportunities, and creating a network of like-minded families who understand the unique joys and challenges of homeschooling.

We aim to inspire and support one another as we cultivate a love of learning for our children. 

Beyond these parent meetups, EHE members are bringing together children of all ages, from early elementary to high school, for weekly gatherings and clubs. Visit our events page to explore the current meetups!
