FAQs



Q:

What does your group offer?

A:

We meet one time per week throughout the school year where we offer classes to supplement your homeschooling experience.  We have classes for any member family with options from nursery all the way up into high school classes.  Little Homeschoolers is our special program for ages 3-5 where they can stay with one teacher each week and build skills that will prepare them for their homeschooling journey.  We offer regular field trip opportunities each semester.  At HHA, we strive to offer a fun, diverse experience for you and your family.

Q:

How many families are in your group?

A:

We typically have 25-40 families, depending on the semester.  We have all ages, from babies all the way up to seniors in high school.

Q:

How can I legally homeschool in Missouri?

A:

The best place to get a comprehensive guide regarding homeschooling in Missouri can be found at Homeschool Legal Defense Association's website.

Q:

What kinds of activities does your group do?

A:

We strive to offer supplemental classes and activities to enhance your homeschooling experience.  We plan field trips each semester that are sometimes educational, but are always fun!  Most of all, we aim to encourage and support one another throughout our homeschooling journey.

Q:

What do I need to do to register?

A:

Families may register throughout the year to be included in weekly newsletters and field trips.  If the family registers before classes are closed for the semester, they may choose to attend classes.  The family membership registration fee is set by the board bi-annually after evaluating the needs of the organization. The HHA Policy Handbook can be found on our home page so please read through those carefully and be sure you agree to them before you join.  Payment for fees may be handled online or by check.  Your registration will be approved once your payment is received.  Once your registration is approved, you will be able to log in to the site.  When registering, please use an email address that you check often, as most of our communication is done via email.

Q:

What happens once my membership is approved?

A:

You'll have access to the members-only portion of the website, but you'll also be added to our private FaceBook group and email list in order to keep up-to-date on upcoming events.  If you also registered for classes, you'll begin attending those on our class days.  If at any time you have questions, you can contact one of the board members directly or click Contact Us to send an email to the Site Admin.

Q:

What do you expect from me as a member?

A:

Our group is made up of homeschooling families just like you!  We are all busy with our families and educating our children, so sharing the load in our organization is how we make it work!  

Our Member Guidelines are included in the Policy & Procedure Handbook that are available to read on the main page.  Below are a few of those: 

  • All attending parents are expected to teach or help in classes each week.
  • All families are expected to arrive on time for classes and activities.
  • All attending participants (parents and students) are expected to abide by the group's Code of Conduct, found in our Policy & Procedure Handbook.
  • All members are expected to pay the fees on their account prior to the start of classes.

Please make sure to read through the entire Handbook so that you and your children are fully aware of all expectations and rules.
