LCHE is a support group for Christian homeschool families in Lawton, Ft. Sill, and surrounding areas.
Our mission is to give families who privately home educate their children an opportunity for fellowship with others who share their goals. We come together for mutual encouragement in our homeschooling journey. As a Christian support group, we strive to conduct our activities according to Scriptural principles. LCHE is an affiliate group of Homeschool Oklahoma (formerly known as Oklahoma Christian Home Educators Consociation (OCHEC), and of HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association). We abide by Homeschool Oklahoma’s and HSLDA's recommendations regarding homeschool issues.
LCHE offers many activities and events for learning & fellowship:
Co-op Classes, Field Trips, Recreational and Competitive Volleyball, a Spelling Bee, Science Fair, Senior Graduation, Moms' Night Out, Potluck Dinners, & other events during the year.
If your family is interested in joining LCHE, please see the "Membership" page.
Although home schooling is thriving all across America, many states (including Oklahoma) continue to propose legislation that seeks to increase government regulation of home schooling. The federal government continually attempts to adopt national standards for core curriculum. For these reasons, we continue to encourage all homeschoolers to join the Home School Legal Defense Association. This is the organization who works to protect our rights on Capitol Hill, and defends homeschoolers in important court cases. HSLDA also sends attorneys to speak at Homeschool Oklahoma’s annual Capitol Day in Oklahoma City. Membership in HSLDA is not required to join LCHE, but is encouraged.
