Minnesota Homeschoolers’ Alliance (MHA) is a statewide organization that provides information and support to homeschooling families. The group started out informally in 1982. MHA incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1991, and has been extending a helping hand to Minnesota homeschoolers ever since.
MHA is nonsectarian - there is no religious affiliation or orientation, and people of all faiths and beliefs are welcome. Our members are a diverse group of families with different backgrounds and different approaches to homeschooling, but we all share a common goal: to encourage and facilitate families that choose to educate their children at home.
Please browse our site and contact us if you have any questions. For membership information, visit our Join MHA page. We’ll be glad to have you aboard!
Legislative Watch Alert Cancelled.
We are no longer asking you to contact your legislator. For details, please see our Legislative Watch page under April 11, 2008.

More an “Announcement” than an “Event”, but … MHA’s new “Wiki” site has finally been upgraded and integrated with the MHA web pages! The color scheme is different, to help you know when you’re on an MHA Wiki page as opposed to the regular MHA website. Give the new MHA Wiki site a try right now! Many thanks to MHA website co-coordinator Andy Pearson, who spent many hours bringing the new Wiki pages from the concept stage to reality - nice work, Andy!
