NOAH is comprised of seasoned homeschoolers and novices, with children of all ages. It is an organization of families devoted to the education of children in a home environment. Over 70 families in the Crestview, Baker, Dorcas, Laurel Hill and Niceville area of Okaloosa County are active in our organization.

Please include name and address in the body of the email. There is a $9 per year charge to cover shipping and handling.
NOAH is busy with a many activities. You can find several families at the Twin Hills Park on Fridays, and the library on various days. Before the weather becomes unfavorable, many meet at the Foxwood Country Club to swim. For those over the age of ten who like a challenge, chess club meets twice a month. Plays and concerts at OWC and the Saenger Theatre provide a cultural experience for the family. Occasional field trips, field day, and holiday celebrations, provide opportunities for the entire group to come together to share and enjoy one another. NOAH is about the homeschooling family, and you are welcome to attend any and all activities on the roster. We do require that an adult accompany all children. If you have an idea about a field trip or activity, not already on the list, we encourage you to put it together. There is surely someone else that would love to participate with you.
