About
We started this organization because we have seen the benefits of private education firsthand and know the sacrifices and financial strains that usually accompany the choice to educate our children apart from public schools. We are here to assist not only homeschoolers but also the families that choose independent education for their children.
As America’s first schools, private schools established our country’s foundation for education. Being educated, whether in the home or through a private school, your choice shares a worthy goal: the education of our country’s future leaders. However you choose to educate your children, the aim is the same; to raise up the next generation of responsible, hard-working, educated citizens. The MHPS board of directors are primarily motivated by the concepts of opportunity, freedom of choice, pluralism and excellence in education. Further, we are vitally interested in supporting families that choose to homeschool or private schools.. Our mission is to preserve and promote educational diversity so that parents have a choice in the education of their children.
