HARC is the Homeschool Association of Rutherford and Polk Counties.  HARC families work together to provide support, encouragement and activities to each other. Parents volunteer & work together to provide activities for our children. Continue reading for list of activities. 

We believe that parents have a constitutional right and God-given responsibility to educate their children. Our purpose is to support and encourage families that have chosen to educate their children in their home. Membership in HARC is open to anyone who is currently homeschooling or has a concern for home education. In addition, we approach homeschooling from a Christian perspective. This is not, however, a requirement for membership. We do not wish to exclude any homeschooling family, but we do plan to carry out activities in accordance with Biblical standards. HARC membership benefits include, but are not limited to, our HARC Members Facebook page, MailChimp emails, Co-Op Enrichment Classes, Large Group Meetings, Family Nights, Field Trips, Kick-Off Picnic, Mom's Nights Out, Christmas Party, Education/Talent Fair, Book Sale, Teen Ball, Graduation, End- of- Year Party and members directory.
