Who Are We?
The Oswego Homeschool Association is a non-profit group for homeschooling parents and children of all ages. We believe that parents are the primary teachers and are responsible for all lawful reporting, curricula choices, and core subject instruction. OHA aims to support the role of the parent by offering meetings, special events, field trips, and educational opportunities. We are an inclusive, eclectic, local, member-run organization that honors the diversity of homeschoolers and provides a supportive community for our members. Our reasons for homeschooling differ, as do our styles and approaches to education. What we share is a respect for all learners and a desire to support one another.
What We Offer
OHA is very happy to provide a broad range of extracurricular and supplemental activies to Oswego's homeschool community. As an OHA member, your child can participate in our Lakeside Enrichment and Academic Program (LEAP), choir, theatrical performances, ROYALS athletics, and more. Our programs are ever changing and we are always looking for ways to enrich our children's lives.
If you are interested in becoming an OHA member, feel free to email us at [email protected] for more information. When you are ready to join, simply click "Join" above to fill out an application.
Over the next few weeks we will be introducing you to some of the wonderful men and women who make our LEAP program amazing!
I met Erika Rocks last year when she came on as an aide for our LEAP program and did a fabulous job! She then went on to help with the Science Fair and after watching her in action I pleaded with her to join our teaching staff. She will be teaching hand sewing and stitching to our 5th-12th graders in the Fall.
Erika lives in Mexico, NY with her husband and two children, and has been homeschooling for three years. Erika has a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Environmental Science and Management from the University of Rhode Island. She was formerly a Biologist for the National Park Service, but left her career to be with her family. Erika spends as much time outdoors as possible and enjoys sharing her love of science, nature, and learning with her children. She believes that there is always something to learn, everyone can tap into their creativity, and that it's never too late to try something new! Erika has been making things for most of her life, and has been a knitter for more than 25 years. She loves fishing, and most recently---learning to play the fiddle.
