Who We Are:
We are Christian, Bible-believing parents who regard our children as gifts from God. We have chosen home education as a means of fulfilling our responsibility to train our children in the ways of the Lord.
The CFS-Poway Board is comprised of privately home schooling parents who volunteer their time to provide leadership to the organization. The board meets monthly to discuss activities, classes and services as well as the group's policies and issues. The board meeting may be attended by parent members with prior notification of topic and as time allows.
Membership Benefits:
CFS Poway's emphasis is to enhance individual families' abilities to meet their educational goals by providing additional opportunities for students to develop academically, socially, physically and spiritually. CFS Poway members receive a monthly newsletter from September through June which includes information on upcoming events and topics of interest to homeschoolers. Members are eligible for a discount on their membership to HSLDA which all of our families are encouraged to join!
Upper Grade students whose families privately homeschool are also eligible and invited to join the CONTROL Speech and Debate club.
Our activities aim to provide services that students' families would share in a brick & mortar school, such as a year-end promotion ceremony, school pictures, yearbook, Spelling Bee, Presidential Fitness program, science labs, fieldtrips and resource library. Members are also eligible to enroll in our Co-op Classes.
Critical to the success of CFS Poway is the participation of parent-volunteers encouraging one another through a network of friends and contacts.
Membership Responsibilities:
Complete annual membership application and return with payment to Membership Coordinator. CFS Poway is funded soley through the annual membership fee.
Sign & abide by Event/Class Behavior Guidelines, including pre-registration and payment requirements. Notify field trip/class coordinator of cancellations prior to the event.

How To Participate:
Sign-up for the group's activities on the first Friday of each month, from September through June at 12:00. Our meeting location is Silverset Park in Poway. Individual events, activities and classes require additional fees. If you want to get a feel for what we offer before joining, e-mail us to request a newsletter.
Supervise your children while participating at CFS functions. At every event parents are responsible for their child's actions and well-being. It is expected that any member or their child who damages or causes injury, either willfully or through neglect, will take personal responsibility for their actions.
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isaiah 54:13
