| Valley Home Scholars |
VHS exists to encourage and support homeschooling in the Spokane area and to provide, when possible, resources to meet various homeschooling needs. We have been in existence since May of 1987.
We are a Christian homeschool support group that promotes Christian family values. We are non-denominational and have members representing a wide variety of area churches. VHS does not represent or support any church, nor do we desire to take the place of the local church.
We extend a welcome to all homeschoolers, regardless of religious beliefs, but we do require that all member families cooperate with us to provide a Christian environment for our children at all Valley Home Scholar activities. In practical terms, this means that we expect all members of VHS to treat each other with dignity, courtesy, and respect-regardless of differences in religion, race, curriculum, homeschool style, etc.
Valley Home Scholars also strongly affirms parents' God-given responsibility to shape their own children's education in their own way; therefore, VHS does not promote or endorse any particular curriculum.
