Our Group

Welcome!  The El Cajon/Santee Park Group is a local member group of Christian Family Schools. We are a support system of parents who choose home education for their children. 
We partner together to gain wisdom, knowledge, understanding and encouragement through meetings and fellowship. We wish to enhance the home school by providing opportunities for our children to develop friendships, character, strong family values, and educational standards. 
Our group is run solely by parent-participation.

COVID-19 Health Policy

  • ​We will be implementing a health policy in compliance with current public health guidelines.  We ask that families stay home if they are experiencing any illness.  We will take care to provide a clean environment to the extent possible at class day, by providing sanitizing supplies for teachers to clean surfaces between classes.  Bathrooms will be available for hand washing and hand sanitizer will be available for use at class day. 
  • Mask wearing will be at your family’s discretion at class day.  Mask wearing will not be a requirement for parents or students participating in class day, park day or other activities unless required by field trip vendors.
  • Class day participants are encouraged to be responsible in their interactions, however, physical distancing will not be possible in all settings at class day, and therefore, will not be promised or required.  
  • CFS El Cajon/Santee has no control over the sanitation practices in areas like public parks, field trip locations or other activity locations/facilities. 
  • We recognize that interactions with people have inherent risk, and we encourage you to make a decision for you family whether that risk is one you can assume.
