History of Classes at Roberts School

2004
Teri Verhine originally started the enrichment program at Roberts School in Fall 2004 with a local support group-GHEIN-Georgia Home Educators Inclusive Network.  It was a wonderful place for homeschool families to take classes at one day without driving to different locations.  The program started with 8 families offering about 6 classes.  The City of Acworth allowed the use Roberts School at no cost to non-profit organizations.  GHEIN dissolved over the following summer. 

 2005
Teri wanted to continue the program.  Realizing the need for a non-profit organization in order to continue the use of Roberts School, Homeschool Excursions was contacted to see if it would be possible to partner.  The enrichment program became part of Homeschool Excursions.  It was known as HSE Enrichment Program.  The program grew with families and classes.

 2006
During this year, the city decided that they wanted to start charging us rent (only us, homeschoolers) not other non-profit groups.  Teri met with the Mayor, City council members and the Director of Parks and Rec Department numerous times.  City council meetings were attended for months.  And after about a 6 month battle, the city finally changed the policy to be fair to all non-profit groups.  We do pay rent now, however the policy is the same for all non-profit organization.

 The program continued to grow to include over 75 families offering over 16 classes each session. 

2007
Teri decided it was time to break away and start a non-profit organization for the enrichment program.  Georgia Enrichment Program for Homeschoolers, Inc.-GA-EPH was formed.  We had a wonderful year.  We begin to change our focus to include more academic classes.  We added many new instructors.  We ended the 2007-2008 school year with about 90 families and more classes for preschooler-middle schoolers.  

2008
We are looking forward to another great year at Roberts School.

We have had many names-GHEIN, HSE and now GA-EPH.  But many refer to our program as classes at Roberts. 
 
We have a wonderful group of families.  Our program continues to grow each year. 

We hope to see you at Roberts School.
