Getting Started–Connect<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

There has never been a better time to homeschool! \u00a0You have decided to homeschool in an era with more opportunities than ever before\u2014both in the number<\/em> of groups and diversity<\/em> of groups devoted to helping home educators.<\/p>\n

Homeschool support groups, co-ops, and associations are primarily comprised of like-minded volunteers who choose to discover or reinforce portions of their learning through connecting with others. \u00a0Homeschool groups express a wide range of organizational preferences, attitudes, and practices, which means there is definitely a tribe for you!<\/p>\n

Regional<\/h3>\n

Regional associations typically have their own stated purpose, calendar of activities, resources (such as libraries) and membership requirements.\u00a0 Some areas of our state have multiple associations, while some areas do not have any.\u00a0 Many are oriented toward directly serving homeschoolers in a particular area. For example, Forsyth Home Educators (FHE) serves the homeschooling families of Forsyth county<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To find local groups near you, go to NCHE regions page<\/a> to find your regional liaison or to see a list of local groups.<\/p>\n

Curricular<\/h3>\n

Some groups are curricular-oriented and devoted to supporting particular educational activities or ideologies. Co-ops focused on a classical education or those who follow the Charlotte Mason educational philosophy are two such curricular groups. Most of the time, these groups are locally based.<\/p>\n

State<\/h3>\n

North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE)<\/strong> is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization active at the state level, serving homeschoolers in North Carolina and beyond. This is us! We are here to provide support on a state-wide level. You can join us and become part of the organization that has been instrumental in making NC a great place to homeschool and keeping it that way.<\/p>\n

NCHE’s mission is to\u00a0help parents homeschool with confidence and joy!
