GETTING STARTED

Welcome to Homeschool Enrichment Centers (HEC)

At HEC, we provide a vibrant community where homeschool families can come together to take enrichment and core classes, participate in community events, go on field trips, and receive support and encouragement. We offer classes for students from Transitional Kindergarten through high school, focusing on hands-on learning, critical thinking, and character development.
 

How It Works

Flexible Learning Options

HEC operates as a learning center, not a traditional school. Families can choose from a variety of classes that suit their needs, whether it's one class or a full day. Classes are taught by independent vendors and are held across our five locations: 3 in San Diego: Lakeside, Bonita, Allied Gardens and 2 in Inland Empire: Redlands and Riverside.
 

Membership Requirement

To register for classes, a membership is required. You can pay for the membership out-of-pocket or through charter funds. Once your membership is active, you can browse and register for classes that fit your family's schedule. CLICK HERE for Membership.
 

Drop-Off Program

HEC requires parents to stay on campus...but HEC offers a drop-off program for parents who cannot stay on campus. Options include early drop-off, half-day, full-day, and extended care. Please ensure you register for the drop-off program separately and adhere to its policies.

CLICK HERE for Drop-Off Program information.

Note: Be aware that the drop-off program fills quickly.
