C.H.E.A. ‘06/’07 Subgroup Information:
Our subgroups are the equivalent of “Bible study or home groups” in the local church. This is where you will connect with other families and build lasting relationships. Our leaders will pray for your family and other needs as they are made known, will distribute information as needed to keep you plugged into our group, and support you in your homeschooling efforts. Please prayerfully consider which group will best serve the needs of your family this year and which other selections will be your alternative choices. List these choices on your application and bring to enrollment night on June 6th or mail in with your payment for membership.
*Note for families with older children:
We will be coordinating activities for middle & high school aged students at various times during the year. Many field trips will be open to our entire membership; check for age appropriate activities on our calendar in the members’ section of the website.

This subgroup is for the families who want to be connected to our group, but may have intensive homeschooling schedules (co-ops or very structured school days) or other obligations. If you will attend co-op and/or some of the events organized by C.H.E.A., but don’t want to attend additional park days or field trips, this is the group for you. You will still be informed of our activities, but participation is optional. While some of the members of this group may join each other for additional activities, it is not guaranteed. If you want additional activities planned for your family, DO NOT JOIN Low Profile. If your situation changes during the year, you are free to attend park days with another group and field trips as the space is available.
