CHIP – Christian Homeschool Instructional Partnership

We want to support and encourage parents as educators to fulfill their God-given responsibility for the education of their children. We are excited to offer resources, services, equipment, and books to assist homeschool families. 

Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it.
Proverbs 22:6

Who is eligible?

Fredericksburg Christian School offers homeschooled students an opportunity to enroll in up to three upper school courses as regular Fredericksburg Christian School students.

  • Students in grades 9-12 are eligible to apply
  • Students can enroll in 1-3 classes (3 maximum); if multiple classes are desired, they should be scheduled consecutively, as only one study hall may be taken between desired classes
  • FCS reserves the right to determine eligibility for a class based on the age of a student (in order to avoid a wide age gap within classes; i.e. 14 year old students in classes with 18 year old seniors)
  • Admission into some classes is based on admission testing
