Purpose

This is a Christian Based Organization; however you can join the Local Auburn Chapter without a confession of Faith with the understanding that other members may not hide theirs and the organization will run by the standards of their Faith. Our prayer is that All Moms & Children have their home schooling needs met through our Group!

Loving Education At Home, Inc. is an organization of like-minded Christian home educators, dedicated to observing the biblical commands of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 , Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:4. LEAH began in 1983 with five Christian families seeking support and fellowship. It grew into a statewide not-for-profit ministry providing support through a network of local chapters.
Loving Education At Home is organized exclusively for the purpose of providing service and support to Christian home education support groups within New York State including but not limited to the following ways:
