Fort Belvoir Home Educators

Fort Belvoir Home Educators is a homeschool support group for military and DoD families dedicated to the home education of our children. We are committed to providing support and encouragement to one another and creating an environment that children of all ages can come to participate in classes, field trips, and parties, alongside their friends. It's also a venue for parents to come together to share talents, ideas, and issues related to homeschooling. We are a member-driven group that runs on parent participation and volunteering. Some of the many things that our group has been able to do because of parent volunteers: -Social Activities: Holiday parties, Bowling, Swimming, Lego Club, Running Club, and Teen Events. -Enrichment Activities: Field Trips, Co-Op, Special Events. -Support Activities: Mom's Coffee, Park Days, Curriculum Swaps. -Other: ITBS Testing, Yearbook, Seasonal Parties, Parent’s Night Out, and Kennedy center student ticket program. Fort Belvoir Home Educators provides the perfect opportunity for children to grow and develop wonderful relationships as well as a much-needed place of encouragement and friendship for homeschooling Moms (and Dads!)

GraceLife Home Educators

As the homeschool ministry of GraceLife Baptist Church our desire is to encourage DEEPER relationships and WIDER educational experiences for homeschool families of the New River Valley. By sharing our gifts and talents we offer a low cost co-op with academic and enrichment classes for the whole family. We recognize homeschooling is hard work and we want to lighten the load, not add to it. Our desire is to supplement what each family is already doing at home, not direct it. We do this by providing: *Nursery *Preschool play & learning time *K-1 students with interesting learning experiences *Elementary students with classroom experiences to help foster respect for other adults and students. Our desire is that they would become more mature and more independent in their learning. *Middle school students with opportunities to learn new topics or go deeper in subjects of interest. Our desire is that they would build strong friendships through teamwork, joint experiences, and fellowship times. *High school students with opportunities to build their faith and their transcripts. Our desire is that they would take ownership of their faith, their education, and their service to the Lord through positive peer relationships. They will also have the opportunity to work toward our co-op Excellence Award. The co-op should help us to become authentic Christians through regular, transparent interactions and encourage our hearts to press on toward the prize.
