PCHE Gov't Funded Homeschool Program Policy
August 2024
PCHE limits its membership to families who desire to homeschool their children completely and totally free of any government influence. We do not question the sincerity or Christian commitment of those families who chose to do otherwise, but PCHE is committed to helping ensure that future generations will have the ability to legally homeschool their children independent of any government controls.

In addition, in order to remain a strong support group, follow PCHE’s Mission Statement, and remain independent from any Government Funded homeschool programs, we will not promote, endorse, or announce any Government Funded homeschool programs in writing or at meetings. This includes, but is not limited to, announcements, emails, flyers, website advertisements, or articles. In keeping with our current policy of protecting the privacy of our member families, neither PCHE nor PCHE members may make the mailing list or email list available to any Government Funded homeschool program representatives.
