Our chapter
A new constellation on the coast
Eta Sigma Alpha is the national honor society founded expressly for homeschooled students. Since 2000 it has recognized young scholars whose work is rigorous, whose service is generous, and whose character is above reproach.
Epsilon Upsilon carries that charge to Brevard County — from Titusville to Grant-Valkaria — gathering homeschool families across the Space Coast into one chapter of shared standards, mentorship and celebration.
We meet monthly, serve quarterly, and induct new members each October by candlelight.
