CHEF (Christian Home Educators Fellowship) is a Christian homeschool association comprised of Christian homeschoolers from the Tulsa metro and the surrounding areas in northeastern Oklahoma.  CHEF is a volunteer non-profit 501c3 organization. We are dedicated to supporting and serving Christian home educating families. CHEF functions in a purely volunteer capacity, seeking to promote the preeminence of Christ and a Christian world view in the home, education, and all of life.  We desire to be a source of encouragement and help to those who are endeavoring to teach and train their children at home. (Deut. 6:6-8, Prov. 22:6, Eph. 6:4)

CHEF defines homeschooling to be home based, biblically centered, Christ focused, *parent-directed, **privately-funded, and discipleship oriented.

*Parent-directed:  Parents are accountable and responsible for: the selection and implementation of all curriculum; attendance and school calendar; grades, transcripts, and diplomas; and testing and evaluations.

**Privately-funded:  Parents are financially responsible for their children’s education. The children are not enrolled in a government-funded school such as K12, etc.
