Classes / Seminars

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We prefer to post information about supplementary classes and services that support parents in their endeavors to teach their children at home.  We will post classes or co-ops for core subjects for upper level students that are led, taught, and organized by homeschooling parents.

A few guidelines for what types of class announcements we will publish in HERO:

  • Supplementary classes in non-core subjects are welcomed.
  • Classes in core subjects offered to upper level homeschooled students from within the homeschool community are permitted on a limited basis.
  • No classes affiliated with public or private schools will be published.
  • Submissions are subject to review.

HERO does not necessarily endorse or have first-hand knowledge of those offering classes to homeschoolers. Please investigate all services/people before utilizing any services.
