OUR NAME HAS CHANGED
WE ARE NOW BEACON
Beacon (formerly the H.E.L.P. group) is a
Christian support group for parents who home
educate their children. Our membership is
open to any home schooling family for support.
Our vision is to help homeschool families
achieve their vision. What we offer is a
DREAM - Discussion, Resources, Education,
Activities, Mentoring.
Feel free to click around and check out the
many resources we offer. We hope that the
information here will answer some of your
questions regarding home education and our
support group.
If you are new to home education, we
encourage you to explore the many different
philosophies and methods in order to make an
informed decision. People home educate for a
number of reasons and in many different ways.
Home schooling is one choice of the several
educational options available. To begin your
investigation we suggest you check at your
local library or bookstore for books on home
education. Many of these books are carried in
the Beacon lending library for our member’s
use.
We want people to know that we are more
than just help for homeschool families. We are
here to bring people together, provide
opportunities for fellowship, share field trip
ideas and more. Check us out! We meet on
the 4th Tuesday evening of every month
August thru May (except December). Find us
at the Elk Grove Village Public Library at 7pm.
In the meantime, if you have any questions,
contact info@beaconhomeschool.org.
