NTHEN's Mission Statement

To honor Christ as we seek to encourage home education by edifying, equipping, and informing Homeschool leaders and the general public.

Who we are ... what we do The North Texas Home Educators' Network (NTHEN), a federally recognized 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1989.

Our mission is to provide homeschool leaders and families with the tools and services necessary to enable their support group or their individual home schools to thrive. NTHEN, the largest of several regional homeschool support organizations in Texas, serves over 225 local homeschooling support groups in more than 60 counties throughout north and northeast Texas. We assist in organizing new support groups and help existing support groups establish programs such as music, sports, science fairs, public speaking and debate competitions, spelling bees, co-op and enrichment classes, and teen groups. We also conduct special meetings, lead regional activities, co-host leadership seminars and retreats, provide consultations, and offer helpful online information.

Our services include two annual conventions (summer and winter), consultations, meetings, training sessions, seminars, local and regional activities, and a variety of other forums. We also work to foster cooperation among local support groups and promote events that support the homeschool community at large. In addition, we proactively educate the media and general public about the diversity and viability of home education.

Our two annual conferences and bookfairs bring homeschool parents and students together to expand their curriculum and knowledge, network with other homeschool families, hear speakers discuss relevant issues and to visit with exhibitors offering educational products and services. Each conference offers homeschool parents the opportunity to explore new material and learn about the latest learning techniques.

Sponsoring Graduation and Commencement Exercises is another key service provided by NTHEN. Graduation is an important part of the overall homeschool experience and NTHEN's forum provides for your student and his or her family and friends to formally celebrate their graduation from High School with many other homeschool students who are also graduating, along with their families and friends. More information about our Graduation and Commencement Exercises can be found in the Graduation section of our website.
