Getting Started

Getting Started

Home education is an adventure, and beginning to home educate is like going on a journey. Here are some steps to make your journey more pleasant:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join a local Support Group

To find out about support groups in your area, contact Christian Home Educators of Ohio to be put in touch with your local CHEO representative who can direct you to groups in your area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Begin investigating the various methods of instruction and curricula available to home educators. The choices for home educators is almost limitless and you will want to select the style of curriculum that works best for you and your children.

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Complete your notification form

Copies of the form may be obtained from CHEO, your local support group leader, or by clicking here. Keep a copy of your entire notification packet, and send the original to the superintendent by certified mail (return receipt requested).

 

 
 
 
 

Attend a homeschool convention

There are two conventions offered annually in Ohio — one in mid-spring and one in late June. Both offer informative workshops and a large ven dor hall display where attendees can view curricula.
