NCHE is a private, volunteer organization active at the state level, serving North Carolina home educators. In 1984, NCHE was organized by homeschool parents to support and encourage home educators and to protect the right to freely home educate in North Carolina. For 30 years, NCHE has endeavored to serve the homeschoolers in NC. Through the years, the homeschool community has grown and changed, and NCHE has developed many ways to meet the changing needs. Some of these ways no longer exist as we adjust to current technology and homeschool culture. As in 1984, NCHE continues to work to promote the excellence of home education, provide support for those who choose to do so, and protect the right to homeschool.
