Welcome to C.H.A.S.E.
C.H.A.S.E. stands for Christian Homeschoolers Activity, Service and Enrichment. We are a Christian, parent-led homeschool group that values Christ-centered relationships, enrichment activities, and service opportunities for families with children aged nursery through high school.

*Biblical integration throughout class offerings.
*Fellowship opportunities for Christ-centered relationships to develop.

FAQs
What does a typical Activity Day look like?
CHASE Activity Days are held twice a month from September through May with a Field Day to wrap up the school year. Activity Day begins at 8:45 am and ends at 12:30 pm. Your first stop is the Welcome Table where you and your children will pick up your name tags. Infants through Preschool age children will go directly to their classrooms. All age groups from 5 years and up will meet in the gym for our Opening Activities which begin promptly at 9 am and consist of pledges, devotion, and prayer. From there, children grouped by age rotate through 4 classes lasting 45 min. each. We dismiss classes at 12:30. Occasionally, families stay for an optional Lunch Period from 12:30-1:30 pm.
