In the fall of 1986, a group of 17 homeschool families gathered to provide encouragement and fellowship for one another. This was the beginning of the Johnson County Parent Educators (JCPE). In late 2001, the JCPE membership voted to change the organization’s name to Midwest Parent Educators (MPE). MPE has incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization and has adopted official by-laws. Midwest Parent Educators is governed by a board, from which an executive committee of officers is chosen. Husband and wife serve as one member of the board, with each family unit receiving one vote. All members of the Board of Directors must agree to endorse and support MPE’s Mission Statement and Statement of Faith (listed in the official by-laws).

MPE’s VISION: To see homeschool families fulfill their God-given role to disciple and educate the next generation.

MPE’s MISSION: Midwest Parent Educators exists to EQUIP homeschooling families, ENCOURAGE home educators, PROMOTE home education, and PROTECT homeschooling freedom, all for the glory of God.

MPE has experienced growth commensurate with that of the homeschooling movement nationally. We serve homeschoolers in the greater Kansas City metro area, including many from Wyandotte, Miami, and Douglas counties in Kansas and from counties in Kansas City, Missouri.

How to Homeschool Webinar (Co-ops and Programs) with MPE

The Kansas City area abounds with enrichment programs, athletic opportunities, and co-operatives (often called co-ops) for homeschool families! In fact, newbies can often feel overwhelmed before they even start. In this webinar, we’ll help you cut through the noise by considering your family’s specific needs. For example, are you looking for “on-site” where parents stay with their students throughout the experience? Or do you prefer “drop-off” options where children learn from third-party educators (and parents continue the learning at home)? Pricing can also affect your decision-making process, and we’ll discuss ways to budget for – and hopefully save on – tuition costs, enrollment fees, and more. Finally, make sure you’ve considered important intangibles such as the program’s vision and mission, legal factors, and conflict-resolution policies!

Women's Encouragement Day is a day of refreshing where local homeschool moms gather to worship, fellowship, grow in your faith, and be encouraged to finish your homeschool year strong. You will enjoy a scrumptious brunch and an afternoon tea as we gather around the table to hear from families who have homeschooled for two or more generations. We will glean wisdom from God’s word through speaker sessions, music that will lift our spirits and enjoy a delicious lunch while fellowshipping with other homeschool moms.

MPE Homeschool Graduation Ceremony

College Church of the Nazarene 2020 E Sheridan St, Olathe, KS, United States

Homeschool graduates from Kansas and Missouri are invited to participate in Midwest Parent Educator's graduation ceremony,  designed as a public display of the gratitude of the graduates and their parents for being given the privilege of homeschooling. It is also to demonstrate the thankfulness of the graduates for their parents, as well as other relatives and friends, who were used by God to shape the lives and character of those graduates for future service to the Master.

One of the highlights of the homeschool experience will be to see your student accept their high school diploma after so many years of work, patience, and growth in both character and education. This is a wonderfully encouraging event for both veteran homeschoolers and those considering homeschooling as members of the next generation prepare for the next stage of their lives. The ceremony is student led with a class feel, yet also personalized as parents pronounce a special blessing over their graduate.
