About Us and What We Offer

Homeschool Support for Orange County

Who We Are . . .

South Coast Christian Home Educators(SCCHE)

The original homeschool support group was pioneered in March of 1996 by homeschool families at Saddleback Community Church that desired that they connect with other homeschool families within their church community. In 2007, we changed our focus to include families around Orange County and became a self-supporting ministry known as South Coast Christian Home Educators. We have grown to include close to 150 families.

We have regular park days, field trips, Mom's Night Out and other special events, a private web site, monthly assemblies during the school year, monthly community service at local assisted-living facility, and a resource library. We are also available for information to those who are considering homeschooling.

Any homeschool family is welcome to join the South Coast Christian Home Educators. As a member you may participate in our private internet discussion board (at My Family.com) where we talk about homeschooling, curriculum choices, and educational and social opportunities. The discussion board also contains a calendar of all our activities, including park days, assemblies, and much more. To become a member of our group, read through the Rules & Regulations, then click on the Membership form on this site.

historical characters like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abigail Adams, and Harriett Tubman,

plays from California history such as "Indian Summer", and
