Corvallis Area Christian Home Educators (CACHE) is a support and activity community for homeschoolers in the area surrounding Corvallis, Oregon. It consists of the co-op as well as the CACHE List.
Christian Home Education is not a unified theory of education. There are as many ways to educate our children as there are families. In spite of the diversity of our spiritual, philosophical, and educational theories or approaches, unity does exist through our desire to educate our children in a manner that is pleasing to God.
CACHE was founded in order to help create a landing place for new home educators, provide on-line and face-to-face support for parents, strengthen the opportunity for community in our area, and inform families about learning opportunities, field trips, and fun activities.
This group is open to anyone who is seeking a homeschooling community and would genuinely like to participate. We just want to let everyone know up front that we are grounded in a faith in Jesus Christ. We are a cooperative support group, meaning that we encourage members to contribute their skills, talents, and gifts so that all may experience support in their homeschooling adventure.
From Nikki: "This year First Baptist Church in Corvallis has generously agreed to let CACHE use their space for Tuesday classes from 1-3pm. CACHE will have access to the gym, 6 classrooms, and the nursery.
"Tuesday class registrations are currently slated to become available Sept. 7, registration will close Sept. 14, and Fall classes will run Oct. 2-Nov. 27. So, be checking your email around Sept. 7th if you're interested in the Tuesday classes. I can't give you any info about what types of offerings there will be yet, that's still a mystery.
"If there are those who would like to have access to a classroom, during the 1-3 time slot on Tuesdays, because they would like to meet with a group of kids or parents or teach a class or some other creative reason to gather with the kids- like stage a play, work on some kind of community service project, or hold a discussion/study group of some kind, please let us know. We're still waiting to see what God's going to bring together from our community.
Blessings,
Nikki Stauber(on behalf of the leadership team)
