Homeschool Journey Since 2000


You may never know, in this lifetime, how your generous gifts have blessed other homeschooling families.
October 2021
Bookstore HOURS 10:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. Tuesday-Friday
Our Estimated Moving Date is Still
October (now, late October) of 2021...
But, even as much progress has been made, there are still a few loose ends that are making it hard to get a completion date!
Please visit our website regularly to receive the latest updates.

Construction + COVID= Extra Delayed
Estimated Moving Dates  
WHERE YOU CAN FIND US
CHSRC bookstore will remain open at our current location 1117 East Devonshire Ave. Phoenix AZ 85014 until this Fall.

As you might have heard...any construction project can be estimated accurately (once it's completed).


Although, the NEW bookstore is still under construction, our popular science workshops have begun the 2021-2022 year at the NEW location, 2940 W Bethany Home Rd. Phoenix AZ 85017.

Mrs. Borg's classroom is ready and she is excited to see all the kids' smiling faces!


PLEASE HELP US SERVE YOU BETTER
BY ANSWERING THIS SHORT 2022 PSAT SURVEY
There are two testing days available for the PSAT: Wednesday and Saturday. CHSRC is only allowed to choose one day.

What is the difference between these two testing days?
  1. Some time in December, after all the results have been released to the students, Wednesday testers will receive back their testing booklet for their review.
  2. Saturday testers do not receive back their booklets because they are returned to the College Board.

We typically choose the Saturday date because it has been more convenient. However, we are currently planning for the 2022 PSAT and we would like to know if you would prefer to test on a Wednesday in order to receive back your testing booklet. 

Thank you so much for your valuable input!

EXCITING NEW CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM
This new chemistry curriculum, from John Ashby, guides students step by step through General Chemistry 1, while clearly explaining concepts that help you master this subject in only138 pages. You will find the syllabus for this course conveniently printed on the front cover as well as in the table of contents.

In addition to being a complete general chemistry 1 course, the book serves as a test preparation for:
  • high school standardized test
  • ACT
  • CLEP test
  • college pre-health profession exams such as the PCAT, DAT, and MCAT.

Because this book is a multi-purpose fundamental chemistry self-instruction manual, it will serve the student not only in high school, but also for college and beyond.



If you are interested in seeing this new curriculum in person, just head on over to CHSRC. We will love to show it to you.

PICTURING AMERICA
"Great art speaks powerfully, inspires fresh thinking, and connects us to our past.
Picturing America, a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities, told America’s story through its art in forty large, high-quality reproductions of selected masterworks of American art from 1100 to 1996."

Picturing America is a great option for all kids, including artistic kids, and can be used for all grade levels.

Picturing America was originally made available to homeschooling families with the agreement that they would pass it on to other families once they finished using the curriculum.

Right now, CHSRC has THREE copies of this wonderful curriculum. Our desire is to bless as many homeschooling families by making the Picturing America program available for loan. Families can check-out this curriculum leaving a deposit of $125.00. You will have the use of this curriculum for up to nine months. You will be refunded $100.00 when the curriculum is returned within the agreed time period, in good shape, and ready to bless other homeschooling families in the greater Phoenix Area. The $25.00 remaining charge covers CHSRC expenses and upkeep of the curriculum.

In this video, Janet shows you some of the amazing art pieces that you will study while using the Picturing America curriculum.

SUPPORT CHSRC THOUGH OUR AFFILIATES
SO MANY WAYS TO SUPPORT CHSRC
Your donation of used curriculum or books is indispensable to the survival of CHSRC as it helps us defer the costs of having a physical bookstore location where homeschooling families go to receive important information and encouragement at no cost to them.

It is amazing to see how God works at CHSRC! 

CHSRC is a non-profit run by non-paid board members, and a small staff of dedicated employees.

The sale of donated used curriculum is the main source of income that allows CHSRC to keep our doors open!

By donating your curriculum, you not only allow us to remain solvent, but you also bless many homeschooling families as they are able to find a large selection of nicely discounted books, all in one place. The ability to combine new curriculum with used curriculum saves homeschooling parents lots of $$.

Covenant Home School Resource Center
