Homeschool Resource Center
Welcome to the HEAT Homeschool Resource Center
Tampa Bay HEAT is excited to be entering a new season of growth. We are currently in the process of purchasing our own building on the Centerpoint Church campus, and in the meantime, we have partnered with Centerpoint Church to utilize their Children’s Ministry building as our Homeschool Resource Center.
Families interested in learning more about HEAT are welcome to attend one of our Homeschool 101 sessions, participate in a Q&A, or attend a campus tour. These opportunities allow prospective families to explore the facility, learn about our programs and offerings, and determine whether HEAT is the right fit for their homeschool journey.

HRC Parking Information
Where to Park
Parents may park in designated spaces on the East side of the building during class times and events.
Field Parking
The field parking area should only be used as a last resort, as the field is frequently used for classes, activities, and sports.
Please Do Not Park
Do not park in the driveway, drop-off loop, or drive through the field at the front of campus.
HRC Hours
While we do not maintain traditional business hours, the HRC is staffed during regular class days and operating hours.
Families are welcome to stop by during those times to drop off payments, paperwork, or other HEAT-related items.
HEAT hosts monthly campus tours so prospective families can explore the campus, meet staff, learn about our programs, and experience the HEAT community firsthand.
Tours are available by registration only and are not offered on a walk-in basis. If you need assistance outside of operating hours, please contact HEAT Administration to schedule an appointment.
Payments & Paperwork
Need to Drop Something Off?
If you need to drop off payments, forms, or paperwork, a Payment Drop Box is available inside the building.
Documents should be clearly labeled and left with the lobby attendant so they can be delivered to the appropriate staff member.
Quick Reminder
Please make sure all envelopes, forms, and paperwork include the family name, student name, and reason for drop-off.
