Florence Decker

In remembrance of Florence Decker, who taught me the power of belief in the face of adversity and struggle, as well as the courage to stand up and correct apparent wrongs.

She strongly believed that time spent on a child was never wasted and worked hard to make our world better during her lifetime. I’m simply picking up where she left off.

Thank you, Grandmother, for your strength, wisdom and heart!

A Memory from Founder/Executive Director Pamela Clark

New Heights Educational Group History

New Heights Educational Group, Inc., was formed on June 1, 2006, as a support network of diverse northwest Ohio families with children in public, charter and home schools. We currently serve northwest Ohio, with a national and international audience. Local communities include the following Ohio towns: Allen, Defiance, Delphos, Hancock, Henry, Lima, Lucas, Napoleon, Putnam, Paulding, Van Wert, Wauseon, Williams and Wood, and meetings with the Director of the organization are by appointment only.

Anyone from anywhere can take our classes or request tutoring or other educational services. We are proud to provide a one-stop education shop.

We believe that a child’s high-quality school experience includes exposure to diverse people, topics and learning adventures. Therefore, our goal is to provide a social/informational framework where parents and students can share fun educational resources such as magazines and comic books, take part in group activities and field trips, and participate in meetings and email/chatroom discussions where students of any age can receive tutoring.

We welcome all home-, charter- and public-schooled families, regardless of educational philosophy, teaching style, socio-economic background or religious beliefs.

NHEG stands firmly against Common Core-based education, Critical Race Theory, Climate Change, Global Warming, and unconstitutional mandates.
