Welcome to the Minnetonka Home Educators Association (MHEA) Home Page. While our name reflects a Minnetonka location, most MHEA families live all over the Twin Cities. We are a group of Christian families joined together to encourage and build one another up as we homeschool our children.

HOW WE DO THIS: We pray. As homeschool families we often carry heavy burdens that impact our homeschool. We are intentional about praying together and supporting eachother.

WE GET OUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY: We provide opportunities for our children to participate in educational, social, and enrichment activities with their fellow homeschoolers to build knowledge and friendships through experience. We support parents as they volunteer their time and skills to build the homeschool community through planning, chaperoning and coordinating events.

WE HAVE FAMILY EVENTS: We have several events throughout the year that gather families to celebrate the seasons. The event line-up typically includes a fall event, Christmas party, Valentine's party, and Expert Night.

GYM CLASS: It is hard to teach gym on your own as a homeschool family. We work together to create a fun and encouraging environment for both the athletic kids in our community and those that are just trying new things. We have four classes on Friday mornings that are divided by ages and are taught by two homeschool parents with lots of experience in teaching physical education. We meet on Friday mornings at Slavic Church (16625 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345), or at a nearby park, when weather permits. Parents remain on the premises to be available for their children, and to develop meaningful connections with the community. MHEA is not a drop-off program.

WE SUPPORT HOMESCHOOL: We partner with Esther's Place in events that serve to educate and encourage parents on their homeschool journey.(esthersplacehrc.org)

OUR FOUNDING: MHEA was founded over 25 years ago by a group of parents devoted to providing support for fellow home educators. As defined in our Mission Statement, the MHEA is a group of Christian families joined together to encourage and build one another up as we homeschool our children.

We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and seek to honor Him daily. Our beliefs can be found in our Statement of Faith on the toolbar to the left.

HOW TO JOIN US: Please know that we do limit our group size, so that families and kids can get to know each other. We typically do not have more than 35 families. If you are interested in joining us, please send an inquiry to infomhea@gmail.com and include the best way for us to contact you. We will reach out to you as quickly as we can to get to know you a bit more, and to set up a trial class visit. After the class visit, we will follow up with you, and with the gym instructors, to see if the visit was deemed successful. After a successful visit, we will share the link to register, if you are interested in signing up.

We look forward to meeting you!
