Home Educators Resource Organization (HERO) provides weekly learning activities and classes for home
educated students and teaching parents in the Minneapolis/St. Paul
(Minnesota) area. The organization is designed to provide a threefold
educational opportunity to home schooling families. First,
HERO offers many of the normal educational studies provided by
traditional schooling (math, science, literature, etc.). Second, HERO provides homeschoolers with many creative arts opportunities that
are often unavailable to homeschoolers (band, drama, art,
etc.). Third, HERO offers a controlled socialization
opportunity that is so often missing in the lives of many home schooled children.
The other dimension in the outreach of HERO is in supporting the teaching parent, developing their
own skills in teaching as their student matures. Ongoing
educational opportunities are as important to the teaching parent as they
are for the student. HERO provides this support in the form of
seminars, curriculum guidance, and shared experience. "Home
schooling
families helping other home schooling families" is what HERO is all
about.
HERO is a nonprofit 501(c)3, Christian, non-denominational
organization. Classes meet during the school year every Monday and Tuesday
at Crossroads Evangelical Covenant Church,
in Forest Lake. The organization was founded in 1996, and has
now served the Twin Cities home schooling community for twelve years. With
the 2008-2009 school year beginning, HERO will be starting its
thirteenth year. We made a decision in 2007 to close our southern location and
expand our site in Forest Lake. We are excited about the new
changes. With the focus of all our time and energy on one location we are
confident that HERO will be able to offer the home schooling community an
even better
high quality program.
Feel free to make your way through the information on
this website, and
explore the numerous and varied opportunities you and your children can
take advantage of at HERO We invite you to consider joining with us to make
for a richer home schooling experience for your entire family.
