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.

Want to be involved?
We’re always keen to have people involved. There are organisational roles to fill as well as on the day roles. If you’re an artist of any sort then we’d love your help in one of two roles. As a ‘judge’ looking at all the wonderful entries and giving our participants feedback on their art. There is no first, second, third but you do get to choose a ‘judge’s choice award’ winner for the group that you review. Or, as an artist demonstrator showing our families how you do what you do.
Email admin@ahe.org.nz if you’d like to be involved in the running of this great event.
