Come and meet your people! Here in South and Central Taranaki, we love homeschooling in all it’s forms, life learning, meeting up, learning together and making friends - children and adults alike. We are all wonderfully different, yet united in our desire to home educate our children. Our group comprises of a wide range of ages, educational styles and interests. If you are new to homeschooling, or interested in how to get started, please start with these great sources of information.

  • In 2024, we formed the South and Central Taranaki Home Educators Incorprated Society. Our Inc. works as a funding umbrella to apply for grants and have accountability for finances. Inc. members benefit from this funding with subsidised fees for many of our events. Inc membership is $25 per family per year.

    You can sign your family up here.

  • Inc membership allows your family to access our funded events at a reduced price, and also means the Inc can continue on as an umbrella organisation to receive the funding we apply for. Without our members there is no Inc, and no funding!

    Membership is $25 a family a year. You can sign up to be a member here
