Thank you for your interest in BCHE! We are so glad you found us!

Please complete the following registration form below. Your membership will be approved once we receive your application with payment. Please wait 2-3 business days for approval.

The BCHE membership year is June 1 - May 30.
The cost of an annual membership is $40 per family from April 1st-December 31st.
During the spring, from January 1st - March 30th, we offer a discounted half-year membership for $20.
May is our membership renewal month.

BCHE membership requirements are as follows:

1. That each member reads the TERMS OF SERVICE below.
2. That each member family e-signs an Adult and Youth Liability Waiver for insurance purposes, which is kept on file, and understands that doing so also acknowledges that members respect the BCHE Statement of Faith as a guideline of the organization's establishment, principles and leadership.
3. That all parents who teach in the Co-op or lead on the Steering Team, sign a Statement of Faith.
4. That each member prayerfully considers serving in a position to help BCHE continue to offer a variety of great activities. You can fill out the Service Task Survey below.
5. There are several questions to answer at the end of the registration. Answering these is important as it helps us keep track of important information for our non-profit documentation, and helps us get to know you better so that we can better serve you.

(Please understand the nature and scope of this Support Group: we are NOT specifically a Co-op and joining BCHE does not assure your entry into the annual Co-op classes. Enrollment is limited because of space considerations. Your willingness to teach a class will aid in your being a part of co-op. BCHE is a support group and offers numerous opportunities for social interaction and ways to make friends in the homeschooling community. The Co-op is just one part of what BCHE does. There are many ways to make friends and find support in your homeschooling journey.)

Make sure you keep track of your username and password that you create on this page. You will need them to login and pay on the next page.

Check here if you have read and agree to the TERMS OF SERVICE.
