2021 Capitol Day
Start your homeschool year off right and head to the Statehouse on October 20th for a fun and educational event hosted by Christian Home Educators of Ohio!
Capitol Day is a great field trip for students and teacher alike! It provides an important opportunity for home educators to better understand the legislative process in Ohio and how we can positively affect this system. This event is also a wonderful way to fulfill some of the history requirements for your school year!

Here For You
2020 was a most unusual year for everyone in our state and country.
We pray that in the midst of chaos you feel the Lord’s presence and peace
that transcends all else.
We are happy to help you in any
way possible as you continue to serve
your family on your own
homeschool journey.
Convention 2021
For the past several years CHEO has been proud to with Teach Them Diligently Conventions to provide a homeschool convention in Ohio.
Due to continued covid-19 restrictions this year, it is not yet certain whether plans can be finalized for this event. The TTD staff continue to work to make this happen and we will definitely let you know when we have a final plan.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Officials’ Confusion over Education Law
Being hauled into court because a school district doesn’t understand how parents comply with the compulsory education law can be traumatic for all the family members involved.
In Ohio, a family found themselves in front of a magistrate after local public school officials informed Ohio’s social services organization that the parents had not filed homeschool paperwork.
Ohio Homeschool Notification Explained
Join Melanie Elsey for a helpful walk through the Ohio Homeschool Notification process. For over 25 years, Melanie has faithfully served Ohio families as the legislative liaison for CHEO. With years of experience and a true understanding of our homeschool regulations, she explains this yearly requirement in a simple and easy to understand way…and also provides encouragement for the journey!
