About this Episode

God has blessed the homeschool community in a unique way over the past 40 years. In this conversation with Tara Bentley, IAHE Executive Director, and Nancy Manos, former Executive Director of AFHE, we discuss ways to get involved in a community of homeschoolers to support one another. You’ll learn what statewide homeschool organizations are, what they do, and how they support families. These non-profit organizations are vital in protecting the freedom to homeschool, and you can get involved!

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
