FAQ’s

If my child is registered with CCHC what are they considered in the eyes of the ‘state’?

Great question! Crescent Christian Homeschool Collaboration is a religious non-profit, support organization and is not a school. Each student is considered an independent homeschooler as far as the state is concerned. The state of California requires families to file a PSA (Private School Affidavit) in the beginning of the school year and do some record keeping on things like attendance. CCHC offers parents a comprehensive guide if they wish to file their PSA independently, at the start of the year.

Can I enroll in a charter school?

Yes absolutely! We are happy to partner with the other educational options in the community while also offering parents a Christ centered environment and community for their children. We recommend dual enrollment with Uncharted Shores Academy as their home study program will allow you to participate best in our program. For more information you can visit their website: https://shoresacademy.com/charting-offshore

What will the collaborative structure look like?

Crescent Christian Homeschool Collaborative is that; A collaboration with homeschool families to provide a beautiful option somewhere between home and school. Parents are called to teach their children but we also believe wholeheartedly in the value of Christian education and community for our kids. Students are “homeschooled” but meet two days a week in a school like setting. Everyone is on the same curriculum (provided with tuition) and our teacher provides class twice a week and lesson plans for the other days of the week for families to follow at home. This structure provides a wonderful collaboration with parents and helps ensure they play the important role they were meant to.

Are there volunteer requirements of parents?

CCHC does require some amount of parent participation throughout the year. Foursquare church and CCHC have a requirement of two adults in a classroom with children at all times for safety reasons, this is best practice. As we grow and more families join this will give us the ability to have parent participation decrease over time.

What is the Curriculum?

We are currently using The Good and The Beautiful. We may adjust over time as we see what works best for our students, and the hybrid model.

What if I want to be involved but my child is older than Grade 2?

We are happy to include homeschool families with older kiddos in some of our extra activities, for example our once monthly nature days. If you are interested in this please reach out to Emily Michetti 541-539-0990.
