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.

FHA is built by homeschoolers, for homeschoolers. Our founders and members are living this life every day, and that shared experience shapes everything we do. What began with a few families has grown steadily through word of mouth, fueled by a deep belief in the value of community.

Today, FHA offers a wide range of programs to support homeschoolers at every stage. Whether you're just starting out or well into your journey, we’re here to help you find connection and encouragement along the way.

Our Membership Options

1. Community Membership (Base Level – Required for All)
Our Community Membership is perfect for homeschool families who want to stay connected and involved all for a low-cost annual family membership. Members can participate in field trips, clubs, sports, drama, parties, dances, Parent Night Out, and special events throughout the year. While some activities are open to all, Community Members receive priority registration, member pricing, and access to our private calendar. It’s the easiest way to stay in the loop and be part of the fun.

2. Co-op Membership (Weekly In-Person Learning)

Our co-op is a traditional, family-led program built on shared effort and mutual support. Each participating family contributes volunteer hours and pays an annual family fee. We keep costs as low as possible to cover essentials while maintaining quality. Parent-led classes include both core academics and enriching electives, creating a well-rounded experience for students and a strong sense of community for families.

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

(Drop-Off Academic Program – Launched Fall 2024)

The Hybrid Program is a structured, two-day-a-week drop-off option for students in grades K–12. Classes are taught by paid tutors in a rented facility. Parents can choose classes à la carte—selecting one or both days and mixing core academics with extracurriculars based on their family’s needs.

While tutors lead the classes, parents remain in charge of their child’s education. You choose what works and how to apply it at home.

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.

Q:

A:

The Community Membership is perfect for homeschool families who want to participate in our field trips, parties, dances, sports, clubs, and round-table events. While many of these events are open to all homeschoolers, Community Members receive priority registration for limited-space activities and access to discounted member pricing.

Community Membership is also required to enroll in our Co-op & Hybrid programs. Members get first access to Co-Op class registration each semester.

This option is ideal for families who may already have a learning plan that works but still want connection, enrichment, and support. Whether or not you join the Co-op & Hybrid programs, there’s a place for you here—filled with extracurriculars, meetups, parent-inclusive events, and meaningful community.

Q:

A:

Family Homeschool Alliance’s Co-op is a parent-led educational community where homeschooling families gather once a week for classes, connection, and enrichment. At its core, our co-op is about building community—supporting one another while helping students grow, learn, and build lifelong friendships.

The co-op is entirely run by families. Parents teach classes, serve in leadership roles, and assist with day-to-day operations. While students benefit from shared learning experiences, parents retain full responsibility for meeting state homeschooling requirements.

FHA’s Co-op welcomes all homeschooling families, with no statement of faith required. Our leadership includes families from diverse Christian backgrounds, but we are not an evangelistic ministry. Some classes may be taught from a Christian worldview, but doctrinal instruction is left to parents and churches.

We serve Kindergarten through 12th grade and offer nursery and preschool options for younger siblings. The co-op meets once a week for 30 weeks during the school year, from September through May. The year is divided into six units (three per semester), with regular breaks including a two-week holiday break in December.

Students typically attend three morning classes from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by an optional fellowship lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. Afternoon clubs and enrichment activities are available from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.

As a true cooperative, all families contribute. A parent must remain on campus while their children are present and complete a required number of volunteer hours. Many parents teach classes, but there are also numerous non-teaching roles essential to keeping our co-op thriving.

Our co-op is entirely volunteer-run. It thrives because families step up to teach, organize, and support. Without active participation from parents, the program simply cannot happen.

Q:

A:

The Tutor-Led Hybrid Program meets twice a week for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Families can choose to attend one or both days each week.

This drop-off program offers students the opportunity to learn alongside friends in a supportive environment, with experienced tutors who teach classes, keep grades, and assign work to complete on days when students are not in session.

The school year runs from September through May, with breaks every 5 to 6 weeks.

What is Parents' Night Out?

Parents' Night Out is a series of gatherings held throughout the school year, created just for homeschool parents and guardians. These events focus on meaningful in-person conversations—sharing ideas, gaining inspiration, and connecting with others on the same journey.

Each night is a chance to unwind, learn something new, and enjoy good company. From dinners out to dessert meetups and everything in between, every event brings something unique. In the past, we called these gatherings “Round Table,” but the heart remains the same: real conversations and real community.

These events are free to attend—just cover your own cost for food or treats. You do not need to be an FHA member to join us. No strings attached—just a warm, welcoming space created to support you and your family.
