WELCOME TO THE CHSEL PUBLIC WEBSITE PAGE! 
CHSEL (Christian Home School Enrichment Labs) IS A SOUTHEAST TEXAS HOME SCHOOL GROUP. MEMBERS USE THIS SITE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CLASSES/LABS AND CAN LOGIN AFTER APPROVED MEMBERSHIP.

2024-2025 Registration will open in May and ends July 15th.

Late registration will be considered on an individual basis if labs are not filled.

At CHSEL, we believe that the best place to learn is at home!! While that is certainly ideal, children and parents at home often lack community and social activities that can be included with their academics.  Because sometimes parents want to offer fun and interactive learning opportunities to their children, but cannot always fit those in between the daily demands of running a household, we developed a co-op lab environment that invites those who participate to be as much involved as their families like.  We do not require parents to teach, but those who do teach are members of CHSEL who home school their children or are qualified, experienced teachers with a love for the home school community and a passion for the subject they share. While we do require an amount of volunteer participation and encourage members to find a way to be a part of the support group, staying the duration of each weekly lab is not a requirement. 

CHSEL is an exchange cooperative through which parents, who choose to do so, can compensate other parent members for providing the creative, interactive learning experiences they sometimes lack at home without having to commit to teaching too. 

Our Friday labs are not intended to provide a complete course, but are designed to enhance the studies of those subjects with deliberate retention-building activities, while encouraging students to think critically, develop interests and most importantly, see how all learning can be motivated through a love of the Lord and His creation as we commit our thoughts and hearts to Him. Our Tuesday classes provide instructions, assignments, and grading which are designed to assist parents in fulfilling the desired credits they have set forth for their student. 

Because CHSEL operates differently from many co-ops, allowing moms, dads and teachers to offer subjects in which they are experienced and about which they are passionate, there are tuition and fees involved in participating. The new school year holds a variety of labs and classes such as Writing, Math and Algebra, Science at all levels, Art, Theatre, Band and much more!


We meet at Ridgewood Church in Port Arthur, TX, with enrichment labs on Fridays for PK-12th grades, and for supplemental and instructional classes on Tuesdays for grades 6-12th, throughout the standard school year.
