We request all members to respect our Statement of Faith and Guidelines and to conduct themselves accordingly at all HELPS activities.

HELPS does not endorse any particular approach to home education because there are a variety of curricula, philosophies, and methods of implementation that allow parents to teach and children to learn in ways that are appropriate for their individual success. It is necessary for us to maintain a spirit of unity and support, encouraging one another in our individual approaches to home education.
