Rio Salado is sponsoring the 2007 Home Education Network of Arizona (HENA) Conference. The two-day, weekend event is an opportunity for families currently home educating, parents interested in learning more about home schooling their children, and for anyone in the community who wishes to participate.

The Arizona conference is held each year to help home educating families discuss their concerns, help families new to home schooling understand their responsibilities, and to provide a venue for these families to network with each other and build a sense of community.

Arizona is one of the best states for home schooling – the state requirements are reasonable and the support groups are plentiful.

The event has a variety of learning opportunities for families, such as:

  • Arizona legal requirements & testing
  • Types of home schooling
  • Facts about home schooling
  • Curriculum
  • Support groups
  • Challenging subjects/college/special needs
  • And much more!

The Home Education Network of Arizona (HENA) is a statewide organization. Their mission is to create an environment in which all home educating families in Arizona can share resources, find support, and build community by providing:

  • Resources such as links to playgroups, support groups, curriculum information, websites, etc.
  • Advocacy as a legal watchdog to stay informed about and give input on issues that affect home education
  • Public relations/media outreach to inform and promote a positive image of home education to the public
  • Community outreach among the home-educating community
  • Conference or convention to provide speakers and vendors
  • To make this organization accessible and useful to all Arizona home educating families through setting specific goals in each of these areas.

Bring the whole family to attend the conference and enjoy the workshops!
