Christian Home Educators of Southwest Florida (CHESF) was
established in 1990 to support and encourage fellow homeschoolers in
Lee County, Florida. We have been blessed over the years with an experienced body of members willing to share their passion with others. Speakers at regular meetings have included early childhood
teachers, media specialists, reading specialists, homeschool curriculum publishers, environmental and geological specialists, writing teachers, and evaluators. In addition, guest speakers have been invited to provide
informative and educational seminars and workshops. Families have enjoyed fellowships, seminars, field trips, workshops and various innovative activities that encourage and educate those dedicated to home education.
The Steering Committee is responsible for planning the monthly CHESF sponsored
events. To encourage building family relationships among CHESF members, a
family gathering is planned once a month from August through May. This may
be in the form of a
General Meeting, Family Fellowship or Educational Fair and is typically held the
second Monday of the month (but check calendar.) In addition, just the moms get together for
encouragement and support for Mom's Night Out.
Field trips and other student activities are planned by parents. As a
parent cooperative support group, every member is encouraged to be involved in
group organization, as well as in planning field trips and other activities.
You will find details of current events listed on the events page. We
invite you to join us for one of our meetings or fellowships. If you have
any questions, please contact us.
