Arizona Families for Home Education
AFHE is a statewide organization that serves the needs and protects the rights of Arizona's homeschooling families. AFHE is a non-profit educational corporation directed by a Christian Board. AFHE membership is open to all homeschooling parents in Arizona.
AFHE is celebrating 27 years of serving Arizona's homeschool families. In 1983, pioneering parents dedicated themselves to the newly-rediscovered old idea of homeschooling. The vision was simple … mothers and fathers teaching their own children with God’s help to preserve and equip a generation. Over 25 years later, that vision is bearing fruit in families all across the state and nation.
AFHE remains firmly committed to promoting parent-led,
family-funded, relationship-based home education.
The AFHE membership and e-newsletter lists are held in confidence.
Your contact information will not be shared or sold.

Advertising Opportunity - Updated Journal Media Kit
If you have a business that supports parents as they teach their children themselves at home, we invite you to consider purchasing ad space in the Arizona Home Education Journal, AFHE's quarterly full-color magazine. With a distribution of about 5,000 households, advertising in the Journal is a great way to let Arizona homeschoolers know about your products and services. Download the 2012 Journal Media Kit for details, rates, and ad contract.
All Homeschool Organizations Are Not Created Equal
Do you know the difference between what your state homeschool organization provides vs. what a for-profit convention organization provides? When you attend the Arizona Home Education Convention & Curriculum Fair, you are supporting a non-profit organization that invests in your family all year long. Read more.
Exposing a Trojan Horse DVD
Excellent resource!
If you, like us, have a serious concern about the effects of virtual schools and publicly-funded programs for homeschoolers, then you’ll want to get a copy of this DVD. Government-funded programs for home educators are enticing. They provide free materials and educational experiences to families. But what price do parents pay to participate in these programs?
