MPE EQUIPS you to establish your homeschool

Do you want to start homeschooling, but don’t know where to begin?

We have detailed step-by-step instructions for starting your homeschool in Kansas or Missouri.

If you’ve been homeschooling for a while now but just want to make sure you’re doing it right, we can help too!

Our “how to homeschool” workshops and webinars help you set expectations, meet legal requirements, tailor curriculum, and choose philosophies for your unique family. You will leave with resources and confidence to begin or continue your homeschool journey.

MPE’s field trips PROMOTE connection.

Years ago when homeschooling was relatively new, only a handful of homeschool programs and resources existed. Now we have so many that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before you even start!

Meet other homeschool families at our events and get their advice on what worked and didn’t work for their family. Learning from others can help you avoid similar first-time homeschool mistakes and set you up for success.

Our website lists KC-area homeschool enrichment and athletics programs to streamline your research process and find the best options for your family.

You can also visit our homeschool conference and curriculum fair for in-depth, practical resources to encourage and equip you each year.
