Purpose Statement
FED exists to assist families in furthering their educational opportunities through classes, services, and support in a Christian environment.
Our History
Family Education Days began in 2015 when a group of homeschool families came together to share the responsibilities of educating our children. We wanted to support one another as we walked the homeschool journey together.
As our community grew, we expanded from meeting in individual homes to a local church, then to Camp Hoblitzelle from 2020–2025. Today, FED meets at Stonegate Church in Midlothian, Texas.
In 2022, Family Education Days became an officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Our Homeschool Model
We strongly believe in sharing both the work and the experience of educating our children. Aside from introducing our children to Christ, giving them a solid foundation for education is deeply important to us.
We understand that everyone brings different gifts and strengths, as well as areas of weakness. Our hope is to use those strengths to support one another and strengthen our community as a whole.
Educating Together.... in Community.

Homeschooling in Texas
In the State of Texas, homeschools are recognized as private schools. As the parent, you are always your student’s primary teacher.

As the homeschool parent, you remain responsible for:
- Selecting your student’s classes.
- Purchasing curriculum and educational materials.
- Maintaining educational records.
- Making all final educational decisions for your family.
- Issuing your student’s final high school diploma at graduation.
