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 fifteen 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.
