Inspire Charter Schools - Oct. 28, 2019
"Homeschooling Parents & Community Supporting Inspire Charter Schools Mission and Vision"
Welcome all new members!
Dear CHPA Members,
The California Homeschool Parent Association (CHPA) was created out of the desire to empower the Inspire homeschool parent and unite the homeschool community with the hope that CHPA will increasingly serve as a parent support group for Inspire Charter Schools. Inspire recognizes the need for parents to let their wants and needs be known and also to be able to create new ways to educate their children and build community within. As a result, CHPA consists of a dedicated group of parents working together to support and enrich all students and families.
CHPA is an association uniting homeschooling families throughout the state of California that values homeschooling, as well as, parent choice in education. CHPA understands that they may have members that homeschool part time, homeschool only some of their children, homeschool their nieces, nephews, or grandchildren, or are only homeschooling for a season of life. CHPA encourages anyone who believes in parent choice and the belief in doing “what’s best for their child” in education, to join.
We look forward to getting to know all of you!
Kindly,
Shannon Carpenter
Senior Director, Homeschool Community Development
Fill out this form for the 2019-20 school year today!
