Join us!

To join, come to a meeting!

Salt Lake Home Educators is a group for providing information and support for homeschoolers regardless of race, religion or educational styles. Our group strives to provide in-person support to one another, so we maintain our monthly meetings as one of our primary activities. The group also has a yahoo group for planning other events, clubs, field trips, and whatever else people are interested in. To keep our focus on friendship and in-person support, we ask that you come see us at a meeting and then we'll get you into the yahoo group.

See you at the meeting!

Meeting Reminder - Wed 1/19!.

We're meeting on Wednesday this week - don't forget us!

Our topic is "Educating Teens." We'll hear from a few different homeschool parents about the options that have worked for their teens.

It seems that as children grow into their teens, many families experience a transition to a new way of educating. However, some families keep pretty much the same approach they had in the younger years; they just move it to a different level. What direction is your family headed? Come to our meeting and see if you can find some inspiration through the experience of other families.

Even if your kids are still young, probably someone has asked you the question, "But what will you for high school?" You'll likely find some ideas for the future.

Everyone is welcome.

About SLHE

Salt Lake Home Educators is a support group created to offer support and information to all home educators, regardless of race, religion, learning and teaching styles, etc. We operate on a volunteer basis. If you don't find what you need, you are welcome to plan any event, field trip, park day, workshop, class, or whatever you're interested in! We encourage and support you to find what methods and experiences work best in your homeschooling endeavors.

Salt Lake Home Educators was born in the early 1990's when the interest in homeschooling was beginning to blossom. At that time, homeschooling families could not always turn to family, friends or government for help, they needed to create their own support systems. SLHE filled the need for an inclusive group that could provide support and information to homeschoolers regardless of race, religion or educational styles.

The goals of SLHE are:
* To be truly inclusive,
* To network with other homeschooling families,
* To build a homeschooling community,
* To discuss resources, educational philosophies, curriculum and parental issues in a supportive, non-judgemental and inclusive environment.
