What is the Diamond Program?
Diamond is CHEC’s high school program for students in grades 10–12th who are ready to begin dual enrollment while remaining part of a supportive homeschool community.
Students combine college coursework with CHEC classes, academic guidance, career exploration, leadership development, and real-world learning experiences. The program helps students develop the independence expected of college students while still receiving structure, encouragement, and accountability.
Depending on their academic history and goals, students may complete individual college courses, earn significant college credit, or pursue an associate degree while completing their high school diploma. Each family considers the student’s graduation requirements, completed credits, academic readiness, intended major or career interests, and ability to manage a college-level workload when developing a plan.
Diamond is more than a collection of classes. It is a guided transition into college, career, and adulthood.

CHEC Experiences
Field Trips
As part of the CHEC Experience program, junior high students participate in one field trip each semester. These hands-on experiences are designed to extend learning beyond the classroom, allowing students to explore new environments, connect classroom lessons to the real world, and engage in meaningful, experiential learning opportunities that support their academic and personal growth.
Class Trips
Starting in 5th grade, students at CHEC embark on overnight class trips as part of their CHEC Experiences program, marking an exciting milestone in their learning journey. These trips allow students to explore new environments, build independence, and strengthen relationships with their peers outside the classroom. Overnight trips in particular hold special value — they encourage teamwork, self-reliance, and confidence, while deepening students’ sense of community and curiosity about the world around them. Each trip becomes a meaningful extension of the classroom, blending adventure with personal growth.
