What is AHE?
Auckland Home Educators is a regional organisation – here to help you in your homeschooling journey or to provide information for those interested in this path.
We are here to advocate for home education. Home education is a valid (excellent!) educational choice for New Zealand families and supported by the Ministry of Education.
We help support learning and connect homeschooling families through regional events such as the Science Fair, Cross Country, Parent Forums etc. (See our events page for more details.)
Browse our website to find out about getting started, support groups, and how we can help.
Join AHE to keep up to date with homeschooling events, activities, and groups via our email loop and newsletter.

AHE Not-Back-To-School Picnic is almost here!!!! A day of fun summer activities is coming your way, and this is one day you don’t want to miss.
It has been a tradition for many years that we hold our annual AHE Not-Back-To-School picnic when the term starts.
Our committee will have a table in a designated area where people can come meet and chat with us. As this is a public park space, families may choose to bring your own picnic and utilise the space. Should you do so, please find below the guidance outlined at: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/parks-recreation/Pages/park-details.aspx?Location=156
We hope to see you there, and it’s free. Non-members are welcome to come talk to us too, and even sign up on the day. So please feel free to inform all the new home schoolers about this.
