First Class is a ministry to homeschooling families! If you have been looking for a one-day, Homeschool Cooperative with a solid Christian foundation, then First Class should be on your list. We hope you'll join us at First Class, make some new friends and get involved!

NOTE: Our policy is at least one parent must be on campus at all times. If your child is present you must also be. We have many ways for you to serve. We of course always need teachers but there are many other areas for you to serve such as a hall monitor, classroom assistant, clean up etc.

Our vision for FCHM includes YOUR FAMILY!

The Vision for First Class Chilliwack:

We exist to encourage one another, to connect, to support and to build up a community of Christian homeschool families reaching out in the name of Christ.
