The Valdosta Area
Homeschooling Association (VAHA) is a Christian support group for homeschooling families
and those interested in home education in the South Georgia/North Florida area.
Membership is open to
any person or family who has an interest in homeschooling. Members do not
necessarily need to be currently homeschooling children.
VAHA is here to provide
a support network for homeschoolers. The bond that holds members of VAHA
together is their mutual commitment to homeschooling as an educational
alternative. Our primary mission is to support members as they
seek to live out this commitment on a daily basis. VAHA strives to assiste new homeschoolers. The first year of homeschooling provides
unique challenges for families. VAHA will work specifically to provide
support and information to first-year homeschoolers as they face these
challenges.
We conduct all business
in accordance with the principles taught in the Bible. Individual members
are encouraged to live their lives in a way consistent with the Bible.
Meetings will always be conducted in a way consistent with the Bible, but all
members are free to believe and live according to their own conscience with it
relates to spiritual matters. Membership is open to any person regardless
of age, race, religious ideology or gender.
We facilitate
cooperative learning activities among homeschoolers and provide testing
facilities and certified standardized testing administrators for all age
groups.
We also make sure our
members are aware of educational and legislative information relative to
homeschooling.
Much of this information
is provided through our Yahoo Groups email list and our monthly members'
newsletter.
