Welcome to Tampa Bay HEAT

Tampa Bay HEAT is a faith-based homeschool community where families come together for classes, events, friendships, and support.

Our membership is open year-round and covers your entire family. The HEAT membership year runs June 1 – May 31.

We are also a Direct Provider for Step Up for Students, which allows eligible families to use Direct Pay for many of our classes and programs.

At HEAT, we believe homeschooling is better when families are connected, supported, and doing life together.

During class days, many families volunteer throughout the building while others enjoy the outdoor space, watch their children play on the playground, and connect with other HEAT parents.

It’s a great place to build friendships and experience the HEAT community.
