Description:

ACTS is a home schooling support group founded by Christian home educators located in Henderson County and encompassing the surrounding East Texas area. ACTS is committed to providing fun and interesting, social and informational opportunities for home-schooling parents and their children.

If you have you been looking for a group that accepts your children no matter what their gifts and talents may be, then you have come to the right place. At ACTS it is what is on the inside that counts; not the clothes you wear, the curriculum you use or the church you attend.
