Thank you so much for your interest in Homeschoolers of Alpharetta. We are an open organization with members from the community of Alpharetta, North Fulton, and surrounding areas. Homeschoolers of Alpharetta is a ministry of Alpharetta First United Methodist Church and is a Christian organization that upholds the Christian lifestyle and beliefs, but we welcome families who do not currently share our faith.
 
Our group began in 2003, and our purpose is to encourage families who homeschool in our community and provide fun activities for homeschooled children.
 
Please email dmule18@gmail.com if you have more questions.

2. Alpharetta 1st UMC is a safe sanctuary so all adults working with children on the church campus are required to attend a Child Youth Protection training and complete a background check. Each year you will have to review the requirements for working with the children, but will not need a background check after the initial one is complete.

3. You will be asked to coordinate two activities during the year. One activity should be a party or event at the church. For the other event, choose a Friday with nothing planned and get the details for a field trip.

Park Days

We have a weekly park day at Wacky World at Wills Park from 2 pm to 4 pm. For the fifth Tuesday, we meet at Webb Bridge Park from 2:00-4:00 pm. This is the best time to come and meet some of the families

Special Events or Parties

We hold parties for special times of the year like Christmas, Valentine’s, and Easter. We also have other fun events like a fall festival, family fun day, and more for the whole family to enjoy...Dads too!

Field Trips

On the weeks we do not have a special event or party, we go on a field trip. Our field trips have included: the fire station, The Rock Ranch, the governor's mansion, Cane Creek Farm, Amicalola Falls and more.
