APHEA is a membership-based coalition of parents and others who have banded together for the furtherance of educational excellence through alternatives to government-operated public schools. Our member families are at the core of APHEA, and they are the reason we exist as an organization. APHEA has members all across the state, and we strive to benefit them through a variety of ways. These include providing helpful information through our annual convention, regular newsletters, and this website. We keep track of legislation that could affect homeschoolers and send out alerts as needed. As the statewide homeschool organization, we also help to connect homeschoolers with support groups in their areas. It’s a great way to connect with other homeschooling families and learn from each other.
We have two forms of membership: North Star (free) and Northern Light ($25/yr).

Light the Way for Others – Northern Light Membership

Being a Northern Light should be considered if you wish to support and participate in the life of the organization to a greater degree than merely donating. Being a Northern Light shows that you believe in what APHEA is about.

APHEA supports home educators in Alaska by standing up, speaking up, and promoting the interests of morally sound, quality home education in the private sector. Our work of advocating, promoting, and educating others about our community continues year-round. We couldn’t do this without the support of our “Northern Lights”!
Northern Light membership is $25 annually per family.
Every Family Needs Direction. Every Movement Needs Light.
Whether you’re just beginning or ready to invest more deeply, there’s a place for you in APHEA. Together, we can preserve freedom, strengthen families, and equip the next generation.
