Membership

Christian Home Educators of the Avalon seeks to provide support to homeschooling parents on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador. We do this in a variety of ways, one of which is through our monthly support meetings for parents. At these meetings, we begin and end by praying for each other. These are informal meetings that usually happen in a home, where parents can seek advice and information from more experienced homeschoolers.

Because CHEA is a co-op, we work together to come up with plans and activities for our children and share responsibilities. We plan field trips together and also plan larger events that usually centre around different holidays (Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.). In addition to field trips, we generally meet every Friday afternoon for what we call "Friday Funday". These events often happen at local playgrounds and churches that graciously allow us to use their facilities, but we are autonomous from them. Churches do not provide supervision or oversight. Parents stay at these gatherings and are responsible for their own children. It is a fun and informal time for everyone!
