Christiana Homeschool Academy is a homeschool co-op that was created by families that wanted another option to educate their children, specifically a classical Christian homeschool education. As a “hybrid homeschooling community,” this can only be done with a lot of dedicated parents and their families. We are intentionally NOT a drop-off school situation. We want you to be involved in the life of the academy! Each family is needed to offer their time and gifts so that we can continue to provide the many wonderful things that Christiana has to offer students and families.
When we take on these jobs of tutoring, POPing, our CHA job, or any administrative position, we realize that we are not doing it for the wage, rather we do it for our children and the other families in our CHA community. I am daily reminded of the amazing families in our CHA community, as I watch others work together and help each other and foster relationships that reflect our Christian values. I have always felt that we have gotten much more out of CHA than I have put into it; with that constant feeling that I should be doing more. Knowing that there are other moms and dads that are busy with their own families but are also willing to dedicate hours to helping mine learn subjects that are not in my list of ‘gifts’ or that I cannot cover in-depth due to (# of children) x (# of subjects), or because I am not organized and disciplined enough, is comforting.
Consider the time and talents of those who fill their volunteer CHA job positions. On average, one CHA job takes 10-15 hours a year to complete. Can you imagine what the cost of our tuition would be if we had to pay employees to do things like what our volunteer accountant, cleaners, and maintenance teams do? Or worse: we would have to cancel things like Morning Devotions, Field Day, Pizza/Chick-Fil-A day, Meal Train, and Fundraising. Among many other CHA jobs, these make our community so special! Your CHA job is important!
We do offer a wage for those jobs that take significantly more hours than a CHA job. Yes, it may look like a small amount on a job posting, but the heart behind all we do at CHA is for our students and families. This is how we manage a “hybrid homeschooling community”- together, in various roles, offering our gifts of time and talent to serve one another in love.
Please consider tutoring or applying for an administrative position, or if you see an area that needs attention, maybe it could be a CHA job- let us know! With each task that we do we are showing our children through our actions that we value a classical, Christian education, and most importantly, that we value each other.
