Home Oriented Unique Schooling Experience
What is Champaign-Urbana HOUSE?
We are a chapter of a statewide network of home schooling support groups that was founded in
1981 by Dorothy Werner of Chicago. The Champaign Chapter began in 1991 and participates with a state council over issues such as legislation
that may affect home schooling in Illinois. We also participate in an annual non-sectarian Home Educator's Conference each spring.
We
are organized by consensus and all work is done by volunteers within the organization. Many of the people in HOUSE organize and run
various activities, and we often cooperate to achieve educational goals. However, you are always the person who decides the educational
path of your child, and you are responsible for his or her education.
We currently serve families from Champaign, Douglas, McLean,
Piatt, and Vermillion Counties.
Some of our activities have included:
- Weekly Play Group
- Drama Club
- Theme-based activity days &
unit studies
- Field Trips
- Science Fair
- Interest groups such as Teen Group, Literature Group, Science Clubs, etc.
