"ARCHERS for the Lord ®" is a non-profit 501c(3) organization that grew out of the ideas of its founder, Mary Hood, nationally known as “The Relaxed Home Schooler ®”. She is the author of such books as "The Relaxed Home School", "The Joyful Home Schooler", "The Enthusiastic Home Schooler", "Onto the Yellow School Bus and Through the Gates of Hell", and "Countdown to Consistency". Mary has a Ph.D. in education and homeschooled her five children since the early 1980s.
ARCHERS is an acronym for the Association of Relaxed Christian Home Educators, and the name is also derived from Psalm 127. ARCHERS ran a resource center in the Atlanta area for several years, but it was recently shut down in order to enable Mary to turn ARCHERS into a truly national organization, with resource centers, retreat centers, and programs throughout the country. For more information on how to help in this matter, check out the page marked "CENTERS", or contact Mary directly for more information.

ARCHERS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in any of its programs. Programs are conducted in a Christian environment, and all teachers and directors sign a simple Christian statement of faith. However, participants of other faiths are welcome, provided their behavior, attitudes, dress, language, and general deportment are consistent with the Christian environment they are entering by choice.
