Who We Are

What is WAHE?

WAHE (Wausau Area Home Educators) is a Christian support community for homeschooling families in the greater Wausau area. We began in 1984 when three families gathered to encourage one another—and we’ve been growing in fellowship and purpose ever since.

We are a group of traditional homeschoolers who file the PI-1206 each year (for at least one child, as long as it's age required). See our FAQ page for details.

What makes WAHE unique?

Our mission is to build a like-minded Christian homeschool community where families can connect, learn, and grow together. Through our private website, calendar, and forum, parents share events, ask questions, and organize activities all year long—sports meetups, field trips, social gatherings, and more. Most of all, we hope to spark meaningful friendships for your children and for you.

Why join WAHE?

Because homeschooling is richer in community. WAHE offers Christ-centered encouragement, shared wisdom, and opportunities for your family to grow alongside others. Every member strengthens the fellowship we’re building, and we’re grateful for the unique gifts and experiences families bring.
