HCS is committed to spreading the word about the benefits of homeschooling and how our services can help families in their homeschooling journey. This is why our staff is excited to participate in expos, conventions, workshops, and other events that promote home education. We are happy to speak with families and answer their questions, provide direction, encourage their research, and hopefully meet future HCS families. 

If you have a friend or family member who can benefit from these events, please feel free to pass on this information to them. 

If you would like our Principal, Vicki Stormoen, to meet with friends, family, church group, or speak at your homeschool event to discuss what we offer and how we can help, please reach out to her at principal@hcssd.org.

What kind of legacy are you leaving for your homeschool group? Are you planning for the future? Do you find yourself looking around and wondering who will fill your shoes when God calls you away from your ministry?

When you are in the throes of leadership, trying to manage communication, programming, relationships, conflict, paperwork, and more, it’s easy to overlook or push planning for your departure to the back burner. Whether you have plans to stay in your position for just a few months or another decade, it’s vital to the future of your group that you be raising up the next generation of leaders.

So, how does one do that with all of the other responsibilities we have as leaders?

We invite you to join us this year for CHEA’s “Leaving a Legacy” Conference. Our knowledgeable and encouraging speakers will explore this theme of raising the next generation of homeschool leaders. Our prayer is that you will become better equipped and encouraged as you lead your homeschool community.

Foundations for the Elementary Years
How much time should I be spending “in school” with my 1st grader? What subjects do I need to include in Kindergarten? How do I get my kids to see me as the teacher? These are common questions parents wonder about in the first few years of homeschooling. We will cover these questions and much more as we discuss some foundational principles related to homeschooling early elementary-aged students.
