North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) exists to help parents homeschool with confidence and joy by protecting your right to homeschool, equipping you with resources and encouragement, and connecting you with families and groups across the state.
One of the best ways to find ongoing support is by joining a local homeschool group in your area. Below you’ll find a list of groups in your region, which have chosen to be listed on this page. While we are so grateful for the support these groups provide, being listed on this page is not an endorsement by NCHE.
If you’re a homeschool group leader, please take a moment to ensure your group’s listing is accurate. If your group isn’t listed, we encourage you to complete the Homeschool Group Form so families in your area can find and connect with you.
If you have questions or need guidance, your regional liaison is here to help. You can also take advantage of all the other ways NCHE supports homeschool families:
- Online mentoring
- Our annual Thrive! conference
- NCHE membership: magazine, graduation, scholarships, discounts, mentoring, monthly email
- NCHE field trips
- NCHE Sports
