Christian Home Educators of Southwest Florida, Inc.

 

Guiding Premise

  

Most educational systems are based upon moral and philosophical premises.  The pioneering families dedicated to home education established Christian Home Educators of Southwest Florida (CHESF) on Christian ethics as expressed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the authoritative Word of God.  Meetings and activities sponsored by CHESF will reflect our Christian principles, yet membership shall be open to those who do not share this faith. It shall be the obligation of every member to act in such a way that would not inhibit, offend, or infringe upon the freedom of those who choose to express their Christian faith in CHESF activities.

 

History 

CHESF was established in 1990 to support and encourage fellow home educators.  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.

CHESF is recognized by the Florida Parent Educators Association, the statewide organization dedicated to families of home education.  CHESF encourages involvement in FPEA meetings and committees at both the district and state levels, and encourages attendance at the annual state convention each year.

   

"May He  grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.  May the LORD answer all your prayers. (Psalm 20:4-5  NLT)
