WAHA is an inclusive, Christian group. Inclusive simply means that our membership is OPEN TO ALL home educating families. Our members, regardless of faith, age, race, or gender, must understand and agree to abide by all of the guidelines that govern our group. All members need to understand up front that non-Christian families are a welcome part of our group. We encourage anyone that would not be comfortable with this to seek a more exclusive homeschooling support group.

WAHA is here to provide a support network for homeschoolers. The bond that holds members of WAHA together is their collective dedication to homeschooling as an educational alternative. WAHA's primary mission is to support members as they seek to live out this commitment on a daily basis.
Assisting new homeschoolers is one of our top priorities. The first year of homeschooling provides unique challenges for families. WAHA will help to provide support and information to first-year homeschoolers as they face these challenges.
“Two roads diverged in a wood and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.- Robert Frost”
WAHA is also part of a support system for the established homeschoolers. We strive to provide cooperative learning activities and socialization opportunities for both children and parents. We focus a great deal on field trips and group activities that provide both education and fun.
We also make sure our members are aware of educational and legislative information relative to homeschooling. Much of this information is given through our groups private message forum.
