he purpose of CHEACC is to provide support and encouragement to local, Christian home school families. The organization was established upon basic Christian values and principles. Individual members are encouraged to reflect those principles during CHEACC functions and activities. At CHEACC, you’ll find a diversified group of home schooling families. Some members adhere to strict curriculum planning, while others follow learning through unit studies. There are also members enrolled in on-line courses of study and local co-ops. We encourage this diversity at CHEACC. We believe it is the responsibility of each family to decide their own home school philosophy and establish their own programs. CHEACC simply serves as a vehicle for support, encouragement, and information so our members can homeschool more effectively.
