Whether you're simply looking into the possibility of homeschooling or have been home educating for many years, it is our hope that you'll consider becoming a part of the CHESS network. We pray that you'll be able to get a good taste, from this website, of the kind of supportive and caring Christian community CHESS is.

We would love to keep you updated with the latest CHESS information through our email network and send you an upcoming edition of the CHESS newsletter-if you call us with your name and address, we will send the next issue for you to "peruse."

Feel free to call us at 517.913.6312 or submit comments here.
