Our Mission
CHRISM, Catholic Homeschoolers Renewing Individual’s Sacred Mission, supports each family on their individual journey to the the Truth, live the Truth, defend the Truth and share the Truth with others. With the ultimate goal of providing quality educational enrichment, we uphold St. Pope John Paul II’s assertion that parents are the primary educators for their children.
CHRISM was formed by a group of families looking for an academic co-op to supplement their homeschooling efforts at home. These volunteer parents desired to create a structured, academic co-op with opportunities for the children to discuss, explore, create, discover and experiment in a safe and enriching environment. Looking to fill a need for an all Catholic, academic, enrichment program, they set to work and watched as blessings unfolded. Prayer is at the heart of all we do, especially asking for guidance from the Holy Spirit.
Co-op classes meet at Holy Rosary / St. Richard’s Catholic Church in Palmetto Bay (7500 SW 152 St) on Fridays during designated dates and at various parks thoughout Miami-Dade County for a rotating Park Play once a month.
Membership enrollment is open year round. However, participation in the academic co-op has a registration in early Summer for the Fall Term and a registration in the late Fall for the Spring Term. Registration for both terms close once the classes have reached capacity on a first come, first serve basis and/or once the current term has begun.
All members who participate in the enrichment co-op are required to actively participate in various roles throughout the term. In this way, we cooperate to balance the work load required to provide the beautiful experience education should be for our children.
