T.E.A.C.H.
Tidewater Educators Association for Christian Homeschooling, Inc.
Statement of Purpose and List of Programs and Activities
T.E.A.C.H. exists to encourage and assist parents who feel called of God to fulfill their God-given
responsibility to “train up” their children by teaching them at home.
Our purpose is to:
-Foster fellowship among homeschoolers, both parents and students.
-Share information regarding homeschooling.
-Provide resources not easily available to individuals.
All of our programs and events are coordinated by volunteers.
T.E.A.C.H. offers sports programs for children three years of age through senior year
in high school. Programs have included Junior co-ed sports in baseball, softball, tball, soccer,
basketball, flag football and cheerleading. High School competitive sports are Middle School,
Junior Varsity and Varsity teams in Boys Soccer and Girls Volleyball in the Fall, Boys and Girls
Basketball in the Winter, and Boys Baseball, Girls Softball and Girls Soccer in the Spring.
The purpose of the sports program is to aid homeschooled athletes to grow in physical ability and moral
character, to learn to work with a team, and compete with other private schools and homeschool
organizations in the area.
T.E.A.C.H. conducts a senior graduation and a junior/senior prom each year. These events provide
homeschooled students the opportunity to attend milestone events that they would not otherwise have
the opportunity to participate in.
T.E.A.C.H. maintains a website, teachhomeschool.com, to aid parents in a successful homeschool
experience, including a Support page with links to other important websites that offer enrichment classes,
legal help, testing, etc.
T.E.A.C.H. sends out a newsletter announcing events ranging from field trips and special courses to
college fairs and changes in the homeschool law .
T.E.A.C.H. periodically aids parents in providing various fairs and contests that allow students to compete
and learn from each other. These activities provide a forum for public achievement and enhance and enrich
the homeschooling experience.
T.E.A.C.H. provides a scholarship application for a homeschooling widow to purchase curricula for her
children. There is also a scholarship application for a family needing help with sports registration fees,
Graduation fees or testing fees.
