Christian Homeschool Support for Colorado Families
CHERN (Christian Home Educators Resource Network) is a homeschool support membership created by Forging Education to equip families with guidance, tools, organization, and encouragement for the homeschool journey.
Why We Created CHERN
Homeschooling can be one of the most rewarding decisions a family makes, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Many families need support navigating:
-
Colorado homeschool law
-
Notices of Intent
-
curriculum choices
-
evaluations and testing
-
high school planning
-
transcripts and recordkeeping
-
scheduling and organization
CHERN was created to provide practical support, trusted guidance, and helpful tools while still preserving the freedom and independence that make homeschooling valuable.
Who CHERN Serves
CHERN is designed to support Christian families homeschooling independently under Colorado’s Notice of Intent pathway.
Whether you are just beginning your homeschool journey or preparing students for graduation, CHERN provides practical guidance, helpful tools, organization support, and encouragement for families seeking to homeschool with confidence.
