Interview with Award Recipient Sarah Forney
Homeschool groups play a crucial role in cheering on homeschool families throughout the often arduous race of educating their children. And homeschool group leaders — although their work often goes unnoticed — are key to equipping local families in their God-given roles. This year, CHEC felt honored to award Sarah Forney, the homeschool leader at Hearts at Home, our annual Homeschool Leadership Award. Read More …

Don’t you just love the verse?
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Is. 40:29-31).
But sometimes, especially when we’re alone on our journey of homeschooling, we need that encouragement that we’re not alone, others are praying for us, and most of all, the Lord will give strength as we wait upon Him. Read More …

I have six kids, and there is a 14-½ year age gap between the oldest and the youngest. We have everything from preschool to pre-calculus going on in our homeschool. Things can be a little loud and chaotic at times, but there are several things that keep my homeschool organized and running smoothly.

At a recent CHEC Intro to Homeschooling workshop where I presented the Nuts & Bolts portion of how to actually homeschool, I had several people ask me about preschool. As this is becoming a more prevalent question, I thought it should be addressed from a Christian, home education viewpoint.
Historically, only families of means sent their kids to preschool. The upper class had nannies or tutors, and the upper middle class had preschool. Preschool prepared children to enter more rigorous (private) schools, which expected children to know the traditional things a child learned in Kindergarten, before they entered their rigorous Kindergarten.
The more selfish reason included home-makers having more leisure time for tennis, golf, or bridge each day at the local country club while their young children were occupied at preschool.

Dear homeschool families,
We are grateful to God for the positive changes that have been made within the last two weeks to the Non-Medical Immunization Exemption form.
CHEC would like to give a special word of thanks to Mike Donnelly of HSLDA, who has been instrumental in bringing about these improvements.
I would encourage you to read HSLDA’s full update on this issue HERE.
Please take special notice of the specific direction given to your family which differs depending on whether you file a notice of intent or enroll your children in an independent private school.
While the most problematic issue with this form has now been corrected, we would like to underline the fact that, as noted by HSLDA, there are still issues with this form with which we are concerned.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. I Corinthians 14:33
Language is the foundation for all learning; history is the lens through which we understand all learning. But how do we go about gaining practical, everyday knowledge that makes up learning? A key subject to study is math!
God makes it clear throughout His Word that He desires order, not chaos. The most orderly school subject a child can study is mathematics. God also makes it clear that truth and absolutes exist and are defined by Him, not us.
