OCHED is an active Christian, family-oriented group whose desire is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ while teaching our children at home. Also, we believe that our children are gifts from God. As parents, we are fully responsible for their education, instilling Godly character, and training our children to love God with all their hearts. We are pleased that members see OCHED as their extended homeschooling community, desire to develop friendships with other families, and support each other in the process of homeschooling.
