About HERO
The Heartland Education Reformation Organization (HERO) is a nonprofit group that helps connect churches and educators who want to start or support creative Christian learning environments (CCLEs).
Many families are looking for more educational options that align with their religious beliefs. HERO works to meet this need by making it easier for CCLEs to get started and succeed with help from local churches.
By partnering churches and Christian educators, HERO aims to increase access to quality, values-centered education opportunities in the heartland and across the nation. We provide resources, connections, and guidance to empower these community-driven efforts.
