Welcome Ezra Homeschoolers! This is simply the Ezra E-group, a virtual community consisting of members of the Ezra Group, a home educators’ support group located in Auckland, New Zealand.

Established in 1991, the group was named after Ezra, a scribe and Bible scholar and teacher in the Old Testament. Ezra was committed to reading and obeying the Word of God, and to teaching it to the people. He was also an encourager who cared about people and interceded for them. Ezra was humble and obedient, and possessed excellent leadership qualities. He demonstrated godly wisdom and maturity by seeking God’s direction in all his endeavours, and giving God glory when success was met. Above all, Ezra’s heart burned with love for the Lord so that his teaching was an overflow of his daily life.

Ezra sets an exemplary model for homeschool parents to follow as teachers and leaders of our children. The meaning of the Hebrew name “Ezra” is “help” and this reflects what the Ezra Group aims to be - a “help group.”

As you join this online community of like-minded parents, may you be blessed by the exchange of information, the network and the sharing of our lives.

God bless,
