Registration Information

Families who are enrolled in Christian Home School Enrichment Labs (CHSEL) are first members of Lighthouse Home School Support (LHSS), an organization that uses multiple ways to join a community of homeschool families. The annual fee for Lighthouse membership is $40 and permits members to register for any programs that are part of our LHSS organization, including CHSEL and LHSA athletics, as well as receive any member discounts.

CHSEL members will have access to the private portion of this website, including the lab registration page and will be able to use the calendar to sign up for field trips, service duty, family nights and other support and social functions. Guests are welcome to view our lab offerings and schedule in the public areas of our website. However, registration for CHSEL is exclusive to members of Lighthouse Home School Support.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLLMENT:

~CHSEL operates as a Christian homeschool educational enrichment/support group. Although families are not required to sign our Statement of Faith, we do require that families understand and show respect for these beliefs, which are posted in our About page as well as our CHSEL Handbook.

~Membership in LHSS is required before CHSEL membership. LHSS membership has a non-refundable annual family fee of $40 that is due upon LHS membership request and will be renewable each year in June. CHSEL membership is free however there are Fall/Spring Registration Fees that total $60/family which cover various expenses associated with CHSEL such as facility use, website fees, insurance, admin, legal and accounting fees.

~All CHSEL payments are made through PayPal at this time. CHSEL tuition and supply fees are invoiced upon lab registration. Each lab registration generates 9 tuition invoices in your family account, one due each month Aug-April, with the first one including any supply fees for that lab. The tuition and supply fees are collected by CHSEL and then redistributed to our teachers as monthly payment for the labs they teach.

~All CHSEL families are required to sign up for 2-3 Service Duty sessions throughout the year, depending on the number of families enrolled OR you can register for Service Duty OPT OUT ($50-$75) on the registration page.
