Who Are
We?
Ebony Homeschoolers
is a Christian homeschool support fellowship established to
strengthen and encourage the African-American homeschooling
family.
[select a heading]
Why Are
We?
Ebony Homeschoolers
was organized because of the need for African-American
homeschoolers to fellowship with one another. We want to
uplift the African-American homeschooling family and touch the
heart of each member.

What Are We?
Ebony
Homeschoolers is a Christian homeschool support fellowship for
the entire family; however, our primary concentration is
to support and encourage the homeschooling parent.

What We Do...
Ebony Homeschoolers
provides its members with an opportunity to share their
homeschooling experiences, exchange teaching techniques,
curriculum information, and more. We provide help and
encouragement for our members. We also provide
opportunities for our children to regularly fellowship with one
another through field trips, play dates, classes, and more.
Ebony Homeschoolers has also instituted various programs to
encourage children to excel through training in character,
oration, and physical activities. Special times have been
set aside for our Moms to fellowship beyond the homeschooling
issues. These times have proven to be invaluable!
Ebony Homeschoolers also provides both phone and online
communications and updates as well as a newsletter: The
Ebony Voice (publications mailed as needed).

What We Believe...
Ebony Homeschoolers
believes there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of
our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His
miracles, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension, and His certain return in power and
glory. We believe the Bible to be the infallible Word of
God.
[select a heading]
What We Are NOT...
Ebony Homeschoolers
is not a militant and/or racist group. Ebony Homeschoolers
is not designed as a vehicle to gripe or belittle any other
race. We do not view inflammatory remarks regarding any
race as acceptable. We are not tolerant of conduct or
comments that are dishonoring to God.
WE ARE NEITHER A SCHOOL NOR A TUTORING SERVICE.
On occasion, we may provide enrichment classes, e.g. art, public
speaking, and other classes to our members. We do not provide
core education such as math, English, science, etc. It is the
sole responsibility of the parents to provide instruction to
their own children.
Although Ebony
Homeschoolers was established for the furthering of the
African-American family in its homeschool endeavors, we are not
limited to that single objective. We are, first and
foremost, a Christian homeschool support group.
