Our Mission
Forsyth Home Educators is a Christian homeschool support group serving Forsyth County, North Carolina, and the surrounding counties. Our mission is to connect homeschooling families with opportunities for growth and enrichment within our community. North Carolina defines homeschooling as a nonpublic school consisting of the children of not more than two families or households, where the parents or legal guardians or members of either household determine the scope and sequence of academic instruction, provide academic instruction and determine additional sources of academic instruction. There is more legal information at www.nche.com or www.hslda.org
There’s more to Homeschooling than books
We offer a variety of social activities, enrichment events, and service projects as well as connections with local co-ops which offer a wide range of middle and high school classes. Our Time-out group plans field trips and activities for elementary age children several times a year and our teen/tween group does monthly activities as well. We provide a graduation and prom for your high school students. Please see our newsletter or calendar for activities occurring this month.
