OPHEN is a group networking individual homeschoolers and homeschool groups together for the benefit of us all. OPHEN was started as a local group of homeschooling parents who wanted to get together and help each other, while promoting homeschooling in their area. OPHEN is a Christian organization in the NW PA and NE Ohio area which offers support and assistance for people who want to home school. While many of our activities are off line, this list group is an expantion of that original group, and a means for easier acces to files, publication of materials for members and their children, public awareness of the group etc. OPHEN members typically organize a number of exciting and educational activities each year, from science and education fairs to costume parties and spelling bees. We have published a monthly newsletter, and have a members lending library. OPHEN also has field trips and educational outings, as well as clubs, such as Bible Quizzing and Keepers of the Faith. We would love to see you! Come join us!

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7, New International Version
