CT Home Educators Association

CHEA
CHEA, the Connecticut Home Educators Association, is a general interest, inclusive, decentralized group. It works through a network of local support groups located around the state.


CHEA has a newly revised web page with detailed lists of its affiliated support groups, membership information, links, a message board and more. Go there for the best information on this group.

The CHEA Statement of Purpose explains their philosophy in more detail.


One special function of CHEA is its oversight of CT legislative activity. The CURE subgroup handles this.

CHEA publishes a newsletter, Hearth Notes, a fine resource guide, and holds conferences on occasion. CHEA is more focused on the various regional groups that gather under their larger umbrella. Various special events are arranged by the regional groups which cover the state.
