Welcome Home Educators!

The Home Education Foundation Newsletter has been established to keep you informed and up-to-date on all aspects of Florida home education.

Why do you ask for so much information with my subscription?

HEF respects your privacy. Should an issue arise that effects only an area or specific group of home educators, HEF can use the information you provide to get the information out quickly.

Check any that apply. This helps us get you into the correct email list for updates and important messages.
