The mission of APACHE, Association of Peoria Area Christian Home Educators, is to help parents excel in home educating their children from a Christian perspective.

The vision of APACHE is threefold:
1. To provide education and information to parents.
2. To provide activities for children to assist parents in their efforts.
3. To promote understanding and acceptance of home schooling [homeschooling] as an excellent means of education.

The purpose of the APACHE message forum is for subscribers to share and discuss curriculum, give encouragement and much more for home educators in Central Illinois!
