Who We Are
 | PCHSG, Inc. is a
Christian organization, which recognizes the responsibility of all parents to train up
their children according to the counsel of God.
|
| Situations that
arise within this group are handled with the counsel and direction of Biblical teaching as
the guide.
|
| Every registered
family must share in the operation of the group.
|
| Member families must
be in agreement with the requirements for membership in
the corporation.
|
| PCHSG, Inc. is open to all home schooling families with school age children that
reside in the designated geographical area.
|
| We define a family as a married couple consisting of a male father and a female
mother and their children (including any minor children for whom they have been made legal
guardians). A family may have only one parent due to circumstances such as, but not
limited to, death of a spouse or divorce. Families are not qualified for membership if
either parent is on probation for any crime.
|
| Only those individuals serving in specified areas of responsibility with PCHSG,
Inc. (for example, the Board of Directors) are required to sign and be in full agreement
with the corporation’s statement of faith.

Our Purpose
The
purpose of this Christian organization is two-fold:
| FOR PARENTS: To provide a framework
in which relationships develop among home schooling parents and where educational
information is shared. This provides opportunities for mutual encouragement and to learn
from one another as parents share concerns and ideas relating to parenting and home
schooling.
|
| FOR CHILDREN: To provide a means for children of member families to
gain a positive identity as home schooled students and to provide opportunities for their
social and academic enrichment.

Framework
| Parent Meetings
|
Parent meetings are held September through May at 7 pm (usually the
second Monday
of each month). The purpose for Parent Meetings is to give home schooling parents the
opportunity to share, discuss, encourage, support and pray for one another in our home
schooling efforts and to provide informational speakers.

Family groups
|
Each PCHSG,
Inc. member family will be assigned to a Family Group. The members of these groups work
together to provide age appropriate activities for the students within that group. Each
family is required to help plan at least one monthly activity for their group. Each group
has a facilitator, who is the contact point for the parents within that group.
Youth Group:
Families who only have students in 7th – 12th grades will plan activities for the
PCHSG Youth Group. Activities for the Youth Group are open to all PCHSG students who are
in grades 7 – 12 and who are at least 12 years of age by October 1, 2001. (Twelve is
the minimum age requirement at many facilities the Youth may visit.) Exceptions to include
siblings in these activities may be made for a particular activity.
