Christian Homeschool Center
An educational tutorial program located in Wilmington, NC for homeschooling families with children in grades K-12 offering semester and year-long core and elective classes to supplement your homeschooling year.
​
CHC is hosted by Christ the King church located at 500 Kenwood Ave.
ABOUT US
In 2018, several of us who had homeschooled for many years and knew the value of weekly gatherings for support, encouragement and accountability from our co-op experiences, felt like there was a need in Wilmington for a different model which would offer homeschooling families the opportunity to choose from a variety of in-person weekly classes to help them with their home education. Parents would still maintain their role as the primary educator of their children at home, but with guidance and tutoring help from other teachers of their choice. The Lord provided a place for us to meet (Christ the King Church) and then an abundance of excellent, experienced and enthusiastic teachers, and we now have over 40 classes, both core and elective, meeting once a week on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays. Whether you are just beginning your homeschooling journey or have been traveling this road for many years, we hope that Christian Homeschool Center will be able to offer you a helpful hand along the way and be that provision from the Lord to keep you persevering and thriving as you walk in obedience to His call to homeschool your children!
​
Our mission of providing Support, Encouragement and Accountability for homeschooling families is one we endeavor to maintain through our "3 C's" :
​
​The Classroom Experience
We envision a welcoming and lively classroom experience for your children; students engaged with the subject material and activities, challenged to think critically and logically and invited to respectfully practice sharing their own thoughts and ideas as our teachers guide them towards knowledge, wisdom and confidence in who they are as a child of God.
As convenient and good as on-line learning can be, we are convinced of the importance of students gathering together to have face-to-face interactions with one another; learning to communicate clearly and kindly, learning how to encourage each other as they venture into new knowledge and experiences that may or may not be in their comfort zone, learning the importance of forgiveness and not keeping records of wrongs as they practice friendship and confronting one another in love. When we come together as followers of Jesus Christ, He says He is with us, unseen but ever present and lovingly teaching and discipling us as our Master Teacher, opening our eyes to His goodness, His truth and His beauty. We all hope to be continually growing in our faith and this all happens in the context of fellowship with one another.
​
The Community Experience​
We envision CHC becoming a catalyst for community, bringing like-minded believers together to serve the Lord and enjoy Him in the activities and events we promote. We hope that students and parents alike will bring their gifts and talents to the school, contributing not only to the classroom experience but also to the building of our community.
We have had teachers and parents share ideas with us such as:
-an Entrepreneurship Fair, which now takes place in November and has become our “Holiday Market” for both parents and students, seasoned and budding entrepreneurs, to sell their wares
-a Field Day which now takes place in April and is led by CHC Dads
-a Ballroom Dance program with monthly gatherings and a Formal Dinner and Dance at the end of the year
-a Chess Club and an Archery Club
-Mom's book clubs and lunch at the park gatherings
The Christian Experience
We envision a Center where growth happens, where we build each other up in our faith, spurring one another on towards love and good deeds through the classes and activities we promote. We will do our part in providing you with teachers who love the Lord, love teaching and hope to be influential in the life of your child, encouraging them to love the Lord with heart, soul, mind and strength. We hope to come alongside and encourage our homeschooling families as they raise a generation of future godly men and women who understand the times and are faithful followers of our Lord Jesus Christ.​
Join us for the journey, and we hope you will experience all that we envision for your family in a peaceful, joyful and caring atmosphere at Christian Homeschool Center.
