Creating Impact
Enrichment Programs
Beyond the Basics
Our enrichment programs spark curiosity through hands-on experiences, creative workshops, and engaging activities. Students explore new interests, build skills, and grow beyond the traditional classroom.
Community Outreach
Engaging Beyond Education
Our community outreach inspires families to give back through service projects and meaningful acts of kindness, nurturing empathy, connection, and a sense of purpose.
Parent Involvement
Strengthening Our Homeschooling Community
Parent involvement is the heart of our collective. Whether you're new to homeschooling or a seasoned pro, our programs offer ways to connect, share, and grow together -creating a supportive space where families thrive, side by side.
Student Workshops
Learning Through Experience
Our student workshops blend creativity and exploration through hands-on projects in art, STEM, and more. Each session sparks curiosity, builds critical thinking, and brings learning to life.
Family Partnership Programs
At PCHC, all families are welcome to join as free Community Members. This tier includes access to public events and shared resources, no cost, no pressure. For those who want to take a more active role in sustaining the collective, our Family Partnership Program offers suggested, tax-deductible donation tiers. These contributions help cover the real costs of what we offer, like event supplies, insurance, and meeting space, and keep the collective running strong. Partners may also receive early access to events, priority registration for enrichment programs, and invitations to planning sessions. These are expressions of gratitude, not requirements, not rewards.
