Teacher ID Cards

As a member, you will receive two member cards--these are your "Teacher ID" cards and serve as verification of your teacher status. Ask the businesses where you shop if they offer teacher discounts, then show them your "Teacher ID"! Many office supply stores, craft suppliers, warehouse stores, teacher-supply stores, retail bookstores, Christian bookstores, computer stores, and other retailers will honor your "Teacher ID" with reduced prices.

Here's a note from a member who saved in the Apple store by asking about teacher discounts, then showing her card.

Many companies give teacher discounts and the HEAV membership card verifies your homeschool status. Yesterday, I was in the Apple store, and my daughter was asked if she was a college student. She replied, "No." I then asked if teachers get a discount. The gal said yes if I had ID. I shuffled through my wallet and showed her my HEAV membership card ["Teacher ID"] and explained that I was a home educator. We got a 10% discount off of a very expensive replacement battery. Thanks HEAV!
