The Fellowship of Christian Home Educators (FoCHE) organization serves families who homeschool their children in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. The goals of FoCHE are to foster Christ-like fellowship among the member families and children, provide social outlets for the parents and children, provide a variety of educational experiences for the children, and provide encouragement to its members. To those ends, we offer parent-taught classes, field trips, craft times, gym and free play.
