CHEA Member-Only Scholarships

CHEA also partners with certain universities to provide scholarships to those schools for members, including Kairos University.

Special Needs Conference Recordings

CHEA Members can access all 16 hours of content from this event in our Digital Library or by registering here (just enter your membership number or email when registering).

Many people think of “special needs” as the same as learning disabilities, and many of these learning differences require special teaching methods. But “special needs” encompasses much more than learning difficulties. It is a broad range of needs, and a parent’s calling is to help children learn and fulfill their God-given mission. Thousands of families are successfully teaching their own children who have special needs. These special challenges are better handled in the loving environment of home. This one-day mini-conference offered solutions for homeschooling families who teach students across a spectrum of special needs.

 

Annual Convention, Networking Opportunities

CHEA’s Annual Homeschool Convention is an uplifting opportunity for homeschoolers to come together for worship, support, information, encouragement, and fellowship. They are a means to connect with other like-minded people dedicated to honoring God in the raising of their children, and provide opportunities for those with experience and knowledge to train others.

All of our Premium membership levels include one free family registration to the Annual Convention. Additionally, Gold and Premium memberships include admissions for a select number of child/teens to those respective Conventions.

 

Discounts

For just $35 per year, CHEA Membership provides discounts that can easily cover the Membership cost while supporting homeschoolers state-wide: discounts on materials, Conventions, and HSLDA membership. As available, CHEA offers other discounts for educational materials and family attractions. We offer giveaways and other money-saving information on our Facebook page as well.
