Welcome to Christian Home Educators Connection (CHEC) 

About CHEC

CHEC is a Christ-centered homeschooling community serving families throughout Central Mississippi. Our purpose is to support and encourage home educators by providing valuable information, resources, and opportunities—both educational and social—for students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

We are a Christian, non-profit organization committed to creating a supportive environment where families can grow together in faith, learning, and friendship. While rooted in biblical values, membership is open to all who wish to homeschool their children in a community where Christian principles guide and enhance the homeschool journey.
