Here’s a short list of the most popular groups that offer support and enrichment classes to homeschoolers in Miami Dade. Except for FPEA, which is the organization that supports homeschoolers state wide.
Florida
- Florida Parents Educators Association (FPEA)
The FPEA serves thousands of homeschooling families in Florida, delivering a wealth of support, guidance and information to both new and longtime home educators. The “FPEA Experience” involves a banding together of homeschoolers to accomplish the task of developing academic and personal excellence by sharing resources, creating connections, enhancing relationships and breaking down barriers. Acknowledging there is no one “right” way to educate, the FPEA acts as an ambassador and champion, serving and protecting the rights and choices of all homeschoolers.

Equip Education is a non-profit ministry that provides supplementary, Christian, classical education to homeschoolers. Students are in class one-day-per-week during our 34 week academic year. The program includes SAT preparation, AP Test preparation, student ministry, competitve robotics and speech training. Classes focus on these subject areas: math, science, writing, great literary masterpieces, Christian worldview, and Latin. The program exceeds the Florida requirements for graduation. Most students join Equip Education at the level which corresponds to traditional school seventh grade (which we call Dialectic I).
hello, I am searching for a group that is friendly to disabled children. I have been to a couple events and meetings and have not found it to be the case. Have homeschooled for 25 years. The last few years have been mostly involved in my youngest child’s medical care. Have tried the public schools here and a couple of private and charter schools. Found all to be lacking at the best, and outright lying at the worst. I am open to starting a group myself for special needs children but have no idea how to connect to people.
Equip Education currently has groups at 4 Locations:
Hollywood, Miami, Pembroke Pines and David

We have many home schooled and special needs children at our academy. I’m curious if there are a group of parents out there that understand the multifaceted benefits of what the traditional Chinese Arts yield. We are interested in expanding the cultural, philosophical and physical empowerment that comes with exposure to these arts. Please advise and or comment, thank you.

Thank you for this list! I need to advise you that HOME no longer meets.
Also, “GOLD” in North Miami needs a big update. That is my group. We moved to Kendall a few years ago, although people continue to travel from the entire county. “Talents Unleashed” covers Vessels of GOLD (as you previously listed) for teens, Vessels Vault for teens, Chrysos (for 8-12), Aureus (for 18+), Memories of GOLD (for all ages), Bible Musicals, Shakespeare works, Open Mic Nights, Teen Dance nights and more. This studio grew from my years of homeschooling (now my kids are grown) and some groups are exclusively for homeschoolers.
We also offer summer camps in July for a little taste of the variety of performing arts we offer. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
