HERO Will Be Closing After the 2023-2024 School Year
It is with a measure of both sadness and joy that Home Educators Resource Organization (HERO) has announced that the 2023-2024 school year will be the final year of HERO operation. The HERO Board of Directors formally announced (on June 12, 2023) the planned dissolution of the HERO non-profit organization. The formal process will commence following the end of the 2023-2024 school year.
We understand that this announcement came as a surprise and/or disappointment to many of our HERO families, but we encourage you to look to the possibilities of new and talented leadership arising from the local homeschooling community. We are all looking forward to seeing what God will do through the committed efforts of caring homeschooling families.
For 28 years Home Educators Resource Organization (HERO) provided weekly learning activities and classes for home educated students and teaching parents in the Minneapolis/St. Paul (Minnesota) area. The organization was designed to provide a threefold educational opportunity to homeschooling families. First, HERO offered many of the normal educational studies provided by traditional schooling (math, science, literature, etc.). Second, HERO provided homeschoolers with many creative arts opportunities that are often unavailable to homeschoolers (band, drama, art, etc.). Third, HERO offered a controlled socialization opportunity that is so often missing in the lives of many home schooled children.
The other dimension in the outreach of HERO was in supporting the teaching parent, developing their own skills in teaching as their student matures. Ongoing educational opportunities are as important to the teaching parent as they are for the student. HERO provided this support in the form of seminars, curriculum guidance, and shared experience. Homeschooling families helping other homeschooling families is what HERO was all about.
