About Us

The Family Homeschool Alliance (FHA) was founded in Spring 2021 by five dedicated mothers seeking a more inclusive and supportive homeschool community. Frustrated with existing options, they envisioned a nonprofit organization where families of all backgrounds could find connection, resources, and educational opportunities.

What started with just five families has flourished into a vibrant network of 49 families and over 100 children in just two years—growing through word of mouth and social media. Today, FHA offers a dynamic range of programs designed to support homeschooling families at different levels of involvement.

Our Membership Options

1. Community Membership (Base Level – Required for All)
A low-cost annual membership providing access to social activities, clubs, field trips, events, and Round Table discussions for parents. Families enjoy both volunteer-led (choir, engineering, playgroups) and contractor-run (Drama, Lego, 3D art) clubs.

2. Co-op Membership (Weekly In-Person Learning)
Families commit volunteer hours and pay an additional fee to participate in our weekly co-op day at a rented church space. Parent-led classes cover core subjects (science, literature, history) and extracurriculars (music, PE, art, mechanics).

 3. Hybrid Membership (Drop-Off Academic Program – Launching Fall 2024) 

A structured, two-day-a-week program where students receive instruction from paid tutors in a rented facility. Parents select classes à la carte, covering core subjects and extracurriculars. This option includes a nursery for tutors' childrenand structured K-1 classrooms.

Our Mission & Future

At FHA, we believe that homeschooling should be accessible, supportive, and community-driven. Our mission is to foster an environment where:

• Inclusivity is key—no family is excluded based on religion, background, or special needs.
• Community thrives—families build lasting friendships while engaging in enriching educational experiences.
• Parent engagement is encouraged—parents share knowledge, support one another, and contribute to a collaborative learning space.
• Growth continues—our upcoming Hybrid Program will expand our reach while maintaining our commitment to flexibility and community support.

What started as a small vision has become a thriving reality. The Family Homeschool Alliance is proud to serve homeschooling families, offering the structure, support, and flexibility they need to succeed.

The Community Membership level is for any homeschooler that would love be able to join us for field trips, parties, dances, sports, clubs and round-table events.  While some of our Community Membership events will be open to all homeschoolers. Community members will have first dibs on limited space events and benefit from member pricing.

To attend co-op you must be a community member.  ALL Community Members will have first picks for classes in the co-op.

What we love about our community membership is if you have found something that works for you or you are not interested in the co-op experience we have a place for you! Full of extra curricular activities, meet up, parent inclusive events and our round tables.

A homeschool cooperative program (co-op) is an educational community of homeschooling families who gather together at allotted times for classes, community, and enrichment activities.  The goal is to build a community and lifelong friendships!

Parent-Led co-op is run by parents who teach classes, volunteer in leadership positions, and help with all aspects of running the community. Co-ops are a great opportunity for families to socialize and support one another as well as for students to learn and grow in community. Parents retain full responsibility for the education of their children and must fulfill state requirements for home education.

Family Homeschool Alliance, Inc.'s (FHA) co-op is designed to offer an affordable opportunity for families to join together and share talents and resources to assist and support one another in achieving mutual educational and enrichment goals by facilitating a once per week co-op. FHA’s leadership includes families from several Christian denominations and a variety of local churches.  Although we desire the salvation of all, we are not an evangelistic ministry and while classes can be taught from a Christian worldview, we leave specific doctrinal training to parents and churches. All homeschool families, from all backgrounds, are encouraged and welcome to join our community.  No statement of faith is required to join.

FHA’s co-op consists of a 34 week school year which is split into six units (3 units per semester) beginning in mid-August through the end of May. We enjoy taking periodic breaks every 5-6 weeks or so, including a 2 week break around Christmas. We serve Kindergarten through 12th grades and also provide preschool and nursery options for younger siblings.

Co-op families come together once a week to participate in regular classes, lunch, and other optional activities such as after school clubs. 

FHA operates as a true parent led co-op where our parents are our teachers. All parents are encouraged to teach a class, but if teaching is not your gift, there are plenty of other volunteer options.  A parent is required to be on campus the entire time your student(s) are present and are required to fill a specific number of volunteer hours.  Students will typically attend 3 classes between 9:00 am and noon and an optional fellowship lunch hour from noon-1pm. From 1-3pm there will be optional clubs available.  

As a co-op member, you will also have access to our community membership benefits.  These are fun activities outside of the normal class day for students including, but not limited to, holiday parties, field days, field trips, birthday celebrations, and more! 

In addition to student care, FHA desires to provide opportunities for parents to be supported and uplifted.

When a mom (or dad) is not serving during the co-op day, she/he is invited to relax in our "Parent Lounge" to fellowship and develop friendships with other like-minded parents. Outside of the co-op day, FHA will offer occasional round table discussions and facilitate other adult only events.

The school year starts in Aug and ends in May with break every 5-6 weeks.

Parents are always welcome to volunteer in a classroom, the cleaning crew, planning events etc. Parent are also encouraged to be on our substitute list for when the need arises. We also encourage parents to come to our Parent Round tables!
