Some quotes from HERO members:
"I like that my kids are challenged in
the classroom. HERO is not just supplemental coursework for us.
The classes qualify as legitimate schoolwork, so our time isn't
wasted." M. Lentz
"The quiet study area and casual
visiting area - my kids love to get their homework done then play
games with friends."
A. Minwegen
"I
enjoy the community of HERO from the students to the parent, to the
teachers. The students are great, the parents show their
appreciation, and the teachers are very understanding. I am very
thankful for such a wonderful community and school." Maria, age
16 |

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 thirteen years.
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.
