BHEA was started in the late 1980's with about 12-14 Blount County families who were homeschooling their children. We currently have over 150 families are participating in BHEA activities. All of our activities and classes are coordinated by members who volunteer their time. BHEA is a Christ-centered group, but all are welcome to join.
BHEA Mission Statement
Blount Home Education Association (BHEA) is an association of independent homeschooling families that has been established to promote and encourage home education in Blount County. It is vital to the success of this organization that each member understands that BHEA operates as a cooperative effort and depends on the contributions of each member for its strength and growth.
The Purpose of this organization shall be to provide support, information and encouragement to homeschooling families. We seek to provide programs and activities that enrich the educational standards established by the family.
We propose that all our efforts be consistent with the following principles:
 |
We place a strong emphasis on spiritual maturity and development of Christian character along with the other educational disciplines. |
|
We seek to plan programs, classes and other activities for our children that support a Christ-centered education with a Biblical world and life view. |
|
BHEA is open to all families who choose to homeschool. All members are expected to respect and abide by the BHEA conduct and dress codes. |
|
BHEA shall actively encourage public expressions of Christian faith such as prayer, personal testimonies, or Biblical teaching. BHEA shall not encourage public expressions of other religions. |
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself;
do not merely look for your own personal interests,
but also for the interests of others.”
Philippians 2:3-4 NAS
