Our group was originally formed in 1993 by three women; Naome Carter, Bonnie MacKay and Bernadette Cindric. They named the group H.E.A.R.T. The acronym stands for Home Educators Are Real Teachers. The moniker stemmed from their frustration with a question they were commonly asked----who is teaching the children.

This continuously active organization decided on a name change in 2006. Several other homeschool groups in the area had also been using the word “Heart” in their names. While this was a wonderful sign that homeschool groups were flourishing it complicated matters.

Most of our members are from Medina County, southern Cuyahoga County and Lorain County at this time but we have welcomed members from a six county area as well as some international friends.
