Homeschooling, by definition, is the education of children at home by their parents.

The mission of FHE is to connect homeschooling families with opportunities for growth and enrichment of the community. Homeschooling someone else’s child does not meet this definition nor the legalities. Please see our resource directory for co-ops and tutors that will help you on this exciting journey. North Carolina defines homeschooling as Home school – 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 much more legal information at www.nche.com or hslda.org

See the above question about the definition of a homeschool.  It is permissible for another family to educate another child or children from one other unrelated family under their homeschool.  Since you have felt led to remove your child from the public school, perhaps you can let your need be made known through your local church, or through individuals you know who currently homeschool.

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.

We are an area home school support group, and as such, we don’t offer classes.

Many home schoolers feel that kindergarten is too young to start formal classwork for education, and that the home is the best environment to begin academics. In fact, it is very reasonable to expect to spend about 30 minutes a day doing actual academic work with a kindergartner (letters, phonics, beginning math work, and handwriting). The majority of time would be spent with hands on, active learning, reading out loud and active play. A good book about early learning is Better Late Than Early, by Raymond Moore.

One advantage to joining FHE for you would be all of the outside activities you would be informed of in our newsletter. We have a monthly ‘Time Out’ group that meets with families of young children, field trips, art classes, PE classes and other activities that might interest you and your daughter.  Please see our resource list for more information on classes, co-ops, etc.

Please send your information to newsletter@ncfhe.org by the 20th of the month and our newsletter editor will try to include it in the next issue.  Advertising charges may apply in some cases.

If you filed a Notice of Intent (NOI) with the NCDNPE to open a homeschool, you do not need to do anything else to add additional children to your school.  Your school will remain open until you notify them otherwise.  NOIs apply per school, not per student, so you only need to file once. The site is updated so if you WISH to list your students and age ranges, this will help the state plan for opportunities for specific ages like driver’s ed classes with local high schools. If perhaps, your mailing address or other contact information has changed, you can update that at ncadmin.nc.gov/about-doa/divisions/division-non-public-education, or call (919)733-4276 for more information.
