Review for Advocates For Home Education in Massachusetts Inc, Arlington, MA, USA
AHEM arrived on the scene as our kids were nearing the end of their homeschool experience and moving on to college, but in the light of our own experiences, and from all communications we have had with them, it is clear that this organization is a wonderful resource for any family considering or engaged in homeschooling in Massachusetts. They have assembled an invaluable database of how individual towns across the Commonwealth interact with homeschooling families, what documentation is required, etc. They carefully monitor any legislation that could impact homeschoolers and work constructively with legislators to assure that constitutional protections are maintained. They also organize cultural events, museum and theater trips, presentation, history tours, meetings with legislators, and social gatherings, including an alternative "prom", and college prep workshops. In short, through all of these efforts, they are enhancing the sense of community and enriching the experiences of homeschoolers throughout Massachusetts. This is an organization truly worth of support.
