WELCOME TO THE CHOC BOARD! The CHOC Board was created to be an interactive online resource center and information network for Christian Homeschoolers in the Westside (and general) Portland, Oregon area. There are two main branches to our ministry. First, the pages on the CHOC Board's site (where you are at now) act as a Christian homeschool "Yellow Page" directory with listings of local resources, useful links, and archived help articles. Secondly, our forums on the CHOC Talk (click here to go to our forums) act as transitory and time-sensitive classified ads, event announcements, and an interactive message system open to all interested in the homeschool community. Thus, the CHOC Board includes, in linked run down with description: Directory of Local Activities, Classes & Programs listing local educational programs (academy or co-op based), individual classes & instructors, extracurricular clubs, field trips, museums, historical and science & nature outings, physical fitness & sports programs, and technology career development opportunities in our Portland metro area.
Handy Links! which lists links to websites we've found helpful for homeschooling or which others have recommended, listed by topic and/or subject (check it out--there are a LOT of useful things there!)
Our " Calendar Talk" forum (hosted by Runboard.com) details upcoming events and date sensitive opportunities in our Washginton County, Portland metro, or extended Northwest communities that would be of interest or importance to local Christian homeschooling families
- If you want to know a little about who we are and how the CHOC Board works, go to About Us . Go to ECD Balls to see a favorite local hobby which we like to promote (hint: it has to do with historical re-enactment, dancing, the Regency period, and a whole lot of fun!).
We seek the CHOC Board to be a useful tool for any Christian homeschooler new to homeschooling, new to the extended Portland metro (especially the Washington County area), or just needing some new ideas and local contacts for the wholesome activities available in our Northwest home schooling community. While our focus is to support Christian homeschooling families, not all our entries describe opportunities or resources that are explicitly Christian. However, we do strive that all items would be considered both wholesome and worthwhile by Christian homeschooling families in our extended Portland metro area. (Of course, each family should use their own discretion regarding personal sensitivities and needs; however, if you feel something listed or linked is not in keeping with a Christian wholesomeness or is in error, please contact us.) In His Service, The CHOC Board 2007-2009 The CHOC Board is an OCEANetwork affiliated support group. |
