Solid Foundations
Solid Foundation Educational Association is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization located in State College, PA. We are dedicated to providing quality educational experiences for homeschooled students in grades K-12. SFEA was started in 1997 by some homeschooling parents who realized that there was a need in our community for part-time classes. The organization continues to be directed by homeschooling parents and, therefore, tries to assess needs among the homeschool population and do its best to meet them. We strongly believe that parents should actively direct and guide their children's education and see our role as only supplemental.

CACHET--Clearfield Area Christian Homeschoolers Educating Together
CACHET (Clearfield and surrounding area) -- contact Tammy Witherite (twitheri3rd@aol.com) or Cathy Weibley (jweibley@atlanticbb.net). We are the Clearfield Area Christian Home Educators Team. Currently we are a group of about 40 families, with approximately 20 families regularly involved in weekly activities. We have a weekly Friday afternoon gym class from 1-2 at the Bigler YMCA for all ages of students (split into several groups). Each month we focus on a different sport or skill. Also, for six weeks each fall and spring, a content-area co-op class is offered for students. Topics have included science, art, music, and geography in the past, with classes taught by parent volunteers or local professionals in a chosen subject area. Parent meetings are held once a month. Each year we have several field trip opportunities, an opening family picnic, Christmas caroling to a local nursing home, an annual Academic Fair, and a year-end trip to DelGrosso´s Amusement Park. Opportunities are provided several times a year for moms and/or moms & dads to socialize and support one another. Come and join us!
