About NTHEN

The North Texas Home Educators’ Network (NTHEN), a 501(C)(3) non-profit entity, was founded in 1989. Our role is to support homeschool leaders with tools and services that will enable their support group to thrive. Our services include 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 work with the community and media to communicate the diversity and viability of home education to the general public.

NTHEN is the largest regional homeschool organization in Texas, serving local support group leaders in more than 80 counties and from more than 160 support groups throughout north and northeast Texas. We assist in organizing new support groups and help existing support groups establish programs such as sports, teen groups, spelling bees, music, science fairs, co-op and enrichment classes, and public speaking and debate competitions. We also conduct special meetings, lead regional activities, co-host leadership seminars and retreats, provide consultations, and offer helpful online information.

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.

A Graduation Exercise and Commencement Ceremony is one of the key events NTHEN sponsors. Graduation is an important part of the homeschool experience and is celebrated with other homeschool graduates and their families. To learn about our graduation ceremony, please visit the Graduation section of our website.
