The Winchester Area Homeschoolers Association (WAHA) is a voluntary support group for homeschooling families and those interested in homeschooling in and around the Winchester, Virginia and Northern Shenandoah Valley area.

WAHA is here to provide a support network for homeschoolers. The bond that holds members of WAHA together is their collective dedication to homeschooling as an educational alternative. WAHA's primary mission is to support members as they seek to live out this commitment on a daily basis.

Assisting new homeschoolers is one of our top priorities. The first year of homeschooling provides unique challenges for families. WAHA will help to provide support and information to first-year homeschoolers as they face these challenges.

WAHA is also part of a support system for the established homeschoolers. We strive to provide cooperative learning activities and socialization opportunities for both children and parents. We focus a great deal on field trips and group activities that provide both education and fun.

We also make sure our members are aware of educational and legislative information relative to homeschooling. Much of this information is given through our groups private message forum.
