Welcome to the Christian Homeschool Online Community Board (the CHOC Board), a resource directory, homeschool how-to guide, and community bulletin board for Christian home schoolers in the extended Portland Oregon metro area.
We've just rebuilt our site to a new server! Forgive some "construction dust" while we settle in and reload all our links, navigations, and pages. We promise we'll be done remodeling soon. :-D
Go to Search Our Site if you have a specific teacher or activity you are looking for.
Our Directories provide a yellow-page style, finger-tip index of educational activities and resources useful to Christian homeschoolers located in our area:
- Directory of Local Activities lists classes, instructors, programs, field trips, museums, nature parks, and more, available to local homeschoolers for enrichment of their educational studies
- Directory of Local Resources lists local resources that support the homeschool teacher such as curriculum stores, support groups, and homeschool organizations
- Directory of Handy Links provides the internet links to a multitude of educational resources sorted by subject
If you would like your services to be listed in our directories please go to the Submissions for Us on the top menu tab and follow the instructions.
Our Community Bulletin Boards act as "upcoming event calender" and "announcement bulletin board" and are updated regularly by us and by community submissions:
- Community Events Calender acts as an "event calendar" for blogging date specific upcoming events or specials occuring in our Portland metro or extended Northwest communities that would be of interest or importance to local Christian home schooling families. (Entries are categorized by month posted and by the month the event occurs if different.)
- General Announcement Board acts like "classified ads" and "camp bulletin board" to provide space for individuals, businesses and organizations to announce non- time sensitive but ongling educational opportunities available or query our community about homeschool resources. (Entries are categorized by month entered and also topically)
If you have something that would be useful for our community and would like to have it posted on one of our community bulletin boards, please contact us at editor@chocboard.net or go to Submissions to Us on the top tab.
