Our Mission
To build up Catholic families and culture by providing support and encouragement to homeschool families for the greater glory of God, under the kingship of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and with faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
- We see this mission arising from the sacrament of marriage and parents’ solemn obligation to educate their offspring and be the “primary and principal educators of their children,”(Vatican Council II, Gravissimum Educationis, 3).
- We aim to fulfill this mission by providing community-building opportunities for the whole family and intellectual and spiritual resources for homeschool parents.
- We welcome families who choose to spend most of their academic days in the home building a domestic church—where children first learn and practice their Catholic faith and where parents promote growth in holiness through a school of virtue and Christian charity. (CCC 1666)
- Our hope is that through this domestic church, families will not only raise good citizens for society, but also cooperate in bringing all souls to God’s Kingdom.
Our History
Founded in 1999, Southern California Catholic Home Educators has grown from a small group of Catholic homeschoolers to a regional community of hundreds. Southern California Catholic Home Educators is a group of parents committed to raising their children with a firm formation in the faith and traditions of the Catholic Church.
