To think about...
"Fathers, what great things does the Lord require of us?

"First, provide a home where love and the Spirit of the Lord may abide. Children are born innocent, not evil. They are not sent to earth, however, to neutral environments. They are sent to homes that, for good or evil, influence their ideas, emotions, thoughts, and standards, by which future choices will be made.

"One great thing the Lord requires of each of us is to provide a home where a happy, positive influence for good exists. In future years the costliness of home furnishings or the number of bathrooms will not matter much, but what will matter significantly is whether our children felt love and acceptance in the home. It will greatly matter whether there was happiness and laughter, or bickering and contention.

"I am convinced that before a child can be influenced for good by his or her parents, there must be a demonstration of respect and love." (Ezra Taft Benson, "Great Things Required of Their Fathers," Ensign, May 1981, 34)

Special Message to all LDS Homeschoolers
The time is right

The LDS homeschool movement is growing.  Whether you are just now taking your first steps toward homeschooling, or you are a veteran of many years, the National LDS Homeschool Association is here for you.

We support the freedom of families to choose home education as a viable family-based educational alternative. We value you, and recognize your unique, individual contributions to the success of the homeschooling movement.

We like to look at the larger picture. The homeschool adventure is about more than just our individual homes and families; our potential influence for good reaches into our neighborhoods, cities, states, and across the nation.  

One goal in establishing a national LDS homeschool support system is to help foster deep friendships, to share resources, and to strengthen individuals and families, while we each embrace the challenges of educating our children at home.  Together we will share success stories, ideas, how to deal with frustrating and difficult situations, and support the right of parents to home educate their children.

The National LDS Homeschool Association:
dedicated to making a difference
in the homeschool community, one family at a time.

Our best ideas are yet to come.
