EAGLES is all-inclusive, education based but does have mostly Christian membership. Here was a tentative schedule for EAGLES home educators for the coming year. We generally meet in Auburn (if we can secure a facility) We do not have plans for co-ops or highschool, however, due to need for consistent facility usage which we have not been able to obtain. As you will see, we need helpers to be able to pull off this schedule. We are also willing to add to or drop things not of interest but people have to be willing to step up and help. If interested please let me know. Facility charges and event #s will determine registration charges for the coming year.

EAGLES has been unable to secure a location to house our usual highschool program. Some of the teachers however, will be teaching in homes locally to still provide some of the quality classes you've become accustomed to. Carol Hecox and Karen Dodson are both working on their local 2008-2009 schedule for classes.
WE WILL HOWEVER STILL HAVE GROUP EVENTS (as volunteers allow) , SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND DEFINITELY, OUR HIGHSCHOOL GRADUATION!!!
