NNHS is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to supporting
and encouraging homeschoolers in Northern Nevada. We offer information
packets, monthly newsletter containing articles, field trips, activities,
list of support groups, etc., an annual conference,and almost anything else
our volunteer members are willing to put the effort into! Annual membership fees are $25 per family.
Advisors, mentors, consultants...the name for a veteran homeschooler, or someone else well-versed
in homeschooling, who is willing to spend time with new/interested families.
An advisor is not the teacher. The parent is the teacher,
and the advisor aids the parent in beginning their homeschooling journey.
If you would like to be added to this list, please contact the webmaster.
There are compensated and uncompensated advisors....it is important in your search to ask a few pertinent questions, such as:
How much homeschooling experience do you have?
Do you charge? If so, how much?
Are you available throughout the year?
What will you provide for me? support group contacts, etc?
What is your teaching philosophy? Can you explain different ones to me?
We do not endorse any of the advisors listed. Each individual should determine compatibility with the advisor, based on family needs and expectations.
Often experienced homeschooling parents make themselves available to aid new homeschoolers. Below is a list of uncompensated advisors who will spend some time answering questions, helping with paperwork, and giving general homeschooling information.
