Great option for those who choose not to go to a traditional school. The staff is very supportive and caring! They care about each individual's progress, regardless of if they are "top of the class academically" or not. They offer great field trips, wonderful resources, and each campus offers grade specific teaching days.

It's a public homeschool. The parents have control over their children's education since they do it at home with the oversight of a certificated teacher. It's a win/win situation.

We love the whole family and work to make students life long learners who believe in themselves and who strive to help others as they can.

It is academically rigorous and has prepared my kids so well. The teachers are great. They understand how hard homeschooling families work and are very supportive.

The teachers and principals are very kind, firm, and caring. They are wonderful people. My sons love CHEP and PCHS and thanked me many times for putting them in CHEP and PCHS. Also, I love being involved in my children's education and knowing exactly what they are learning.

The teachers and staff are wonderful and really care for each child. I love the individual program and attention given to each student to ensure that that particular student is getting the guidance they need to succeed as students.

They understand that every child is unique and should be taught according to their learning style. The staff is very friendly and helpful too.

I think is a great program were parents can be more involved in each child education and it gives us the opportunity to do it on a one on one basis which is great for the students.

We love CHEP as it was our homeschool from 1st - 8th grade. The school provided so much support for homeschooling families. In house classes, certified teachers to partner and enhance the learning experience. Social activities such as park day, student council, leadership classes, field trips, and classes on most all school subjects. Though CHEP does not offer flex funds, CHEP utilizes the fund to offer textbooks for every subject, parent workshops, and as needed tutoring for free. I highly recommend CHEP for a homeschool

My children are in their second year of homeschooling at CHEP. The environment is wholesome and the curriculum is challenging. CHEP offers various classes where kids learn and enjoy the social aspect of a school environment. PE and field trips are also planned but parents must be involved. Education at home works well for families who appreciate values and enjoy enriching their children's education before they're grown and gone!

CHEP has four site: North (Anaheim), West (Cypress) , South (Mission Viejo and Central (Costa Mesa.) I have schooled my children with the help of a certified teacher for 6 years. Educating at 'home' has far more benefits than sending your child to a local school. As long as you take education seriously, your child(ren) will as well. Some advantages are that you can tailor the curriculum to your child's needs; watch your child learn; and the best: be with your kids more hours per day. Check them out!

I am thrilled to be a part of CHEP and homeschooling my 3rd and 6th graders. My kids are finnally getting the one on one attention they need and ENJOYING their education. Thanks CHEP!

CHEP has been such a blessing to our family. When we decided to homeschool our children we were nervous about regulations and legal requirements. Chep has been a wonderful support. I am in my second year with chep and teaching my kindergartener and second grader. The teacher support and extra classes offered is wonderful. I really can't say enough about Chep! Where would I be without our teacher support? They are full of ideas and encouragement. Four sites in Orange County allow us to choose the home site that is closest, but we are able to participate in extra offered classes and support from any of the four sites. This is a quality homeschool option for parents and teachers from all backgrounds! I do wish there were more classes offered for socializing.

This has been great for my 3rd grader. She is learning at an advanced level with personal attention that she would never have in a regular school.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted April 18, 2005

The K - 8 and 9 - 12 grade parts of the program are separate and work differently. Both provide support for the involvement of families. The K - 8 program allows a lot of flexibility and freedom for the parent to plan schedules, while the 9 - 12 grade portion is separated into individual courses and assignments taught by teachers. The high school online classes are great because they foster research skills and time management. However, it is a disappointment that the high school does not have honors, APs, and other classes that allow high school students to be a competitive applicant for universities. For example, students who want advanced levels of foreign language (they have up to Spanish 2), chemistry, and physics, have to take a course on their own elsewhere. On the other hand, they do offer 6 courses through Coastline College that allow students to work ahead.

They are a great liason when you choose to homeschool. The teachers and staff are helpful and caring. The curriculum that is provided is sufficient. The workshops and fieldtrips offered are great!

My son is in first grade. We started with CHEP after we got a very negative attitude at his public school. He has achieved more from this school in 5 months then he ever could at his last school. He is doing up to 3rd grade work, loves his teacher and the staff as do I. Everything and everyone has been very positive. I would recommend this school to everyone and have. My son's over all attitude has changed 100% he's happier, friendlier to others and looks forward to doing his school work and going to classes at CHEP.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
