Metro Home Educators (MHE) is a support group for homeschooling families living in, or near, the Cedar Valley. We offer many opportunities for member families to enhance their homeschooling experience. There are three main components under the MHE umbrella: Co-op, and Supplemental Opportunities, and Valley Lutheran Homeschool Extension program.
The purpose of the Co-op is to provide group experiences for our homeschool students. We also offer nursery and preschool for younger siblings of homeschoolers. Co-op is short for Cooperative and our Co-op is a cooperative venture. Parent participation is required. Starting September 9, 2011, the Co-op will meet Friday Afternoons from 12:30-3:00 at Hammond Avenue Brethren Church in Waterloo. Co-op meets for 10 weeks in the fall and 10 weeks in the spring semester. At the end of each 10 week segment, Co-op students participate in a program that highlights their Co-op experiences. For more details, click on Co-op pages in the right hand column.
High School classes will meet at Valley Lutheran in Cedar Falls. For information on Valley Lutheran Extension program click on the page at the top right.
MHE offers many other benefits and activities for homeschool families. From fieldtrips, to 4-H club; from Mom's night out, to discount theater shows; there are many opportunities to experience homeschooling together and supplement your homeschool education.
