About Us

We are a local support group for Christian homeschoolers in San Mateo County, part of the Bay Area, California. Our members come from cities such as Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, Foster City, Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Burlingame, Hillsborough, Millbrae and South San Francisco.

Our name, HEART for Christ Schools, stands for Home Educators Achieving Results Together for Christ, and is drawn from the following verse.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

We have families who choose to homeschool independently, families who utilize co-ops, charter schools, online schools, community colleges, and everything in between. We are drawn together by our shared faith in Christ as well as our care and concern for our children.
  
If you are in our area and currently homeschooling (or considering it), you are welcome to join us! The membership process consists of:

1. Previewing our membership guidelines and statement of faith.
2. Filling in an initial contact form or asking a friend already in the group to vouch for you. 
3. If neither side has questions, you will fill in our Membership Form (HEART admin will give you the link).
4. Based on your preferences in the Membership Form, you will be added to our HEART for Christ Homeschoolers Facebook group and/or our email group.

We post group-specific events such as park days and field trips, as well as share and discuss homeschooling questions, on the Facebook and email groups.  You can also use our HSLDA group id to obtain discounted membership dues at HSLDA. 

If you have further questions about our group, or homeschooling in this area, feel free to reach out to us through the "Contact Form" in the sidebar. If you are in the Bay Area, but outside our membership area, consider checking out the "Nearby Groups" in our sidebar - these are groups which we have worked with, and which share a similar vision to support Bay Area homeschoolers.

God bless you in your homeschool journey!
