Check-out the Encouragement for the Homeschool Family Conference in October 2008 in Moncton N.B.

Introduction

HEMS is an acronym for Home Educating Mothers' Support. We believe that the greatest support available to homeschooling Mothers is that found in faith in the Lord Jesus followed by the support offered by the fathers of homeschooled children. The goal of HEMS is to provide homeschooling families with resources, encouragement and edification to help make homeschooling a positive experience and one that follows the Scriptural pattern for raising children for God. Although HEMS is a Christian group, we encourage anyone to attend. One of our hopes is to see more Dads involved at home and in the support network.

HEMS is a support group based in the Regional Municipality of Halifax, which is located in the beautiful Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It has been an active support group for more than a decade. Although it is often difficult to make time to get together, we believe it is vital for homeschool families to meet to share experiences and resources.

The group is currently being organized by Julie and Jason Graveline. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact them by email at hems@eastlink.ca.

Thanks so much for checking out the HEMS website. We hope it helps you in your search to provide the best homeschooling experience for your family.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
