Holy Family Home Educators (HFHE) is a gathering of Catholic families who homeschool or who support the principles of homeschooling. Our members come from Tucson and surrounding communities.

We strive to live out the exhortation Pope John Paul II stated in his 1994“Letter to Families:”

"It is important that families attempt to build bonds of solidarity among themselves. This allows them to assist each other in the educational enterprise: parents are educated by other parents, and children by other children. Thus a particular tradition of education is created, which draws strength from the character of the “domestic church proper to the family."

Our homeschooling is an extension of our Catholic lifestyle. We seek to train and teach our children in the home in order to preserve the Catholic Faith. God has appointed us as our children’s first teachers, as witnessed to in Papal encyclicals and the Code of Canon Law. Parental involvement, small “class” size, academic distinction, and protection of childhood innocence are all reasons we choose to teach at home. Families can choose to be as involved as they wish to be in our activities. Many homeschoolers find that active participation in a support group encourages them and provides many oportunities for exchanging ideas and information, socialization, and FUN!
