Meet local Southeast Texas homeschool co-op, CHSEL, at the SETX Homeschool Expo. Christian HomeSchool Enrichment Labs is just what its name implies: a group of Christian, Bible-believing families who homeschool, coming together to enrich their learning at home with labs in various subjects. Our mission is to encourage one another in our walks with Christ through glorifying Him in every subject we teach.
Labs are held at First Baptist Church in Groves, Texas. At CHSEL they believe that the best place to learn is at home!! While that is certainly ideal, children and parents at home often lack community and social activities that can be included with their academics. Because sometimes parents want to give fun learning opportunities to their children, but cannot always fit those in between the daily demands of running a household, we developed a co-op lab environment that invites those who participate to be as much involved as their families like.
They do not require parents to teach, but those who do teach are members of CHSEL who homeschool their children or are qualified, experienced teachers with a love for the home school community and a passion for the subject they share. While they encourage volunteer participation, staying at the labs is not a requirement.
CHSEL is an exchange hub through which parents who choose to do so can compensate other parent members for providing the creative, interactive learning experiences they sometimes lack at home without having to commit to teaching too.
They meet on Fridays at First Baptist Church of Groves, with labs beginning at 8:45 a.m. and the last lab ending at 2:05 p.m., throughout the standard school year.
Students may eat lunch together at the church facility or be picked up by parents at that time.
Our labs are not intended to provide a complete credit for any course, but are designed to enhance the studies of those subjects with deliberate retention-building activities, while encouraging students to think critically, develop interests and most importantly, see how all learning can be motivated through a love of the Lord and His creation as we commit our thoughts and hearts to Him!!
Students come from all over Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana to enjoy classes at CHSEL.
