About CHESF

Welcome to our community of Christian homeschooling parents living in San Francisco, SFO, and San Bruno areas who are actively homeschooling! We exist to encourage & support one another to live out the calling God has placed in their hearts to homeschool their children while at the same time connecting the hearts of homeschooling parents with one another in authentic community both within CHESF and the surrounding Bay Area. We believe this is achieved through personal relationships that are fostered both in person at our park days, CHARM Nature Studies, field trips, and other gatherings both on a weekly and monthly basis as well as online in our Facebook group. At CHESF, we welcome all homeschooling parents at all stages of their journey and those who are interested in homeschooling, regardless of the path they choose. Whether you decide to homeschool independently, utilize co-ops, charter schools, online schools, or something in between we understand each homeschool path is unique to the family and their values and most importantly is designed to meet the needs of the child(ren). We ask that all members respect the private choices that each family has made in this regard. We value and accept each others differences and know that what unites us is our shared faith in Christ and our love, care, and concern for our children and their education. We understand at CHESF that homeschooling is the road less traveled and because of this we want to strive to ensure that each homeschooling parent is supported on their journey with love in Christ and knows who their tribe is so they don't have to walk this path alone.

When approved, you can join our Facebook group, CHESF (Christian Home Educators of San Francisco), where we post group-specific events such as park days and field trips, as well as share and discuss homeschooling questions. 

If you have further questions about our group, or homeschooling in this area, feel free to reach out to us through the "Contact" section. If you are in the Bay Area, but outside of our membership area, consider checking out the "Nearby Groups" - these are groups which we have worked with, and which share a similar vision to support Bay Area homeschoolers.
