Texas State Organizations

 

  • T.H.S.C. (Texas Home School Coalition)

PEACH recommends, but does not require, that all members join THSC.  They handle legal homeschooling issues across Texas.  Membership in THSC carries legal protection in cases of government interference.   You can join THSC at a discount if you are a member of PEACH! 

The helpful people at THSC also provide homeschooling information particular to our great state of Texas. They lobby for homeschoolers' issues in Austin; they alert homeschoolers across the state to issues concerning changes or possible changes in our rights as homeschoolers; and they maintain an extensive communication network of homeschool support groups across the state.

 

  • Heart of Texas (Home Educators Alliance for Resources and Training of Texas, Inc.)

Heart of Texas is a regional alliance of home school support group leaders who have a HEART for homeschoolers!  They provide leadership, support, and information as well as encourage political participation within the homeschool community through communications, networking activities, and events directed at home school support groups and families in the Greater Dallas / Fort Worth region. 

  • N.T.H.E.N. (North Texas Homeschool Educators Network)  

This organization is a regional support group serving local home school support group leaders in North Texas.  NTHEN also sponsors the Plano Home School Conference and Book Fair, which is held each August at the Plano Conference Center.

National Organizations


H.S.L.D.A. (Home School Legal Defense Association
If you are able, PEACH recommends that members also join HSLDA. They handle legal homeschooling issues across all 50 states (and territories as well) and at the federal level. Their focus is not only on the federal level, it's on the individual homeschooling families, too. In fact, membership in HSLDA carries legal protection in cases of government interference. And you can join HSLDA at a discount if you are a member of PEACH!

Other Local Support Groups

  • Frisco - Frisco HIS

  • Frisco H.I.S. began in 1995 when a handful of friends began meeting together in an upstairs room of The Abbey Cafe in Frisco, TX. They had all chosen to educate their children at home, and desired to meet together for encouragement, fellowship, and to share ideas.

  • McKinney - March
  •  MArCH is a volunteer, non-profit homeschool organization where our first priority is to glorify God and pursue Godly character. MArCH provides support meetings, newsletters, fall and spring co-op classes, field trips, activities, homeschool resources, fellowship, ministry opportunities, and venues for your children to present their accomplishments.
  • Richardson - RHSA
  •  RHSA exists to provide support and encouragement to families who are educating and training their children at home. RHSA promotes homeschooling through Biblical Principles. Teaching Co-op exists to supplement our children’s education. Scouting - RHSA has very active Boy Scout, Cub Scout and Girl Scout programs. These give our boys and girls an opportunity to enjoy the many activities of scouting with other homeschool children.
  • Denton DCHSA
  • DCHSA is based upon a distinctly Christian world view.  The founders of our organization believed that true education cannot take place apart from the acknowledgment of the one true Creator God and the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • SELAH of North Texas
  • SELAH (Supporting & Encouraging Local Area Homeschoolers) exists to encourage area homeschool families in their choice to educate their children at home.  To that end, we offer a variety of opportunities for learning, positive interaction and support for parents and students through monthly field trips, weekly Park Days, monthly Mom2Mom meetings and a variety of social events throughout the year.  We are located in north Texas, east of Dallas. The majority of our members live in the Sachse, Wylie, Rowlett, Garland, Plano and Murphy communities, but the group is open to any interested families.
