About Us
Enrichment and Fellowship for Homeschoolers
The Albemarle Homeschool Support League (AHSL) is a community of Christian homeschooling families in northeast North Carolina. We offer enrichment activities, social events, and peer support to new and experienced homeschoolers. Our mission is to empower parents in their responsibility to educate their children grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
WHAT AHSL OFFERS
Tuesday Enrichment Classes
At AHSL, we proudly offer Tuesday Enrichment Classes (TEC) as part of our vibrant support group for homeschooling families with children aged 4 and older. TEC is designed to enrich the homeschooling experience by fostering a collaborative community where families can connect, share resources, and enhance their educational journeys together.
Special Events
We host a variety of exciting special events throughout the year! From our History Fair to showcase student projects, to the Science Olympics for hands-on learning and competition, there's something for everyone. Enjoy a day of fun at our Field Day, filled with games and sports, and don’t miss the chance to shine at our Talent Show. These events are perfect for fostering community, creativity, and collaboration among our families. We can't wait to celebrate and learn together!
Field Trips
Discover new adventures with our exciting monthly field trips! Designed to enrich learning and foster community bonding, these trips provide unique opportunities for exploration and hands-on experiences. Join us as we visit local museums, parks, and cultural landmarks, creating fun memories and learning outside the classroom. Don’t miss the chance to be a part of these engaging outings each month!
Teen Events
Get ready for an action-packed experience with our monthly teen activities! From bowling and roller skating to bonfires, game nights, beach days, and mini golf, there's always something fun happening for teens ages 13-18.
And don’t miss our annual Spring Teen Prom! This exciting event celebrates the accomplishments and friendships formed throughout the school year, featuring a night full of dancing and unforgettable memories. It’s the perfect way to recognize their growth and achievements — and celebrate together in style!
Graduation
Celebrate your child’s achievements with us! Each spring, we host a special graduation ceremony for our high school seniors and kindergarten graduates. This memorable event honors their hard work and dedication, bringing families and the community together in a joyous celebration of milestones. Join us in recognizing their accomplishments and marking the beginning of new adventures!
Parents
We cherish parents' involvement in the homeschooling journey. Join our monthly Mom's Meeting to connect and support each other in a welcoming environment. Plus, our bi-monthly Evening Support Meetings invite all parents and community members to discuss homeschooling challenges and share resources. Also, you can join us for a coffee break during TEC! Together, we can strengthen our supportive network!

Her oldest child is currently enrolled in a college nursing program, her middle child is homeschooling and is in high school, and her youngest child is enrolled at a local charter elementary school. The Albemarle Homeschool Support League has been a tremendous support for all three of her children's unique homeschooling journeys. As a parent, she has enjoyed teaching during the Tuesday Enrichment Classes and is now honored to serve on the board as co-secretary.

She has recently joined the AHSL board to help fill the secretary role. Stephanie is a mother of two and has a Senior graduating in Spring 2025. She started homeschooling in 2020 with no experience and immediately fell in love with the flexibility and a more customized learning experience. Watching your child learn or grasp a concept that you taught them is such a big motivator to continue on. Looking forward to coming together and sharing ideas on how we can make the most of our homeschool adventures.
