At PCC LEAH we come together as parents to support each other and our educational goals for our children with a Christ centered emphasis. We approach education topics from a Christian worldview. Our science programs teach from a Creationism perspective, which means that we believe that God made the world in six literal twenty-four hour days; we reject evolution as an explanation.
We provide several regular on-going educational opportunities and attempt to generate an atmosphere to help you as parents explore new potential for your children's education. Here are some of our programs:
PCC LEAH Friday Co-op
On Fridays, during two ten-week sessions (one in the fall and one in the winter/spring), parents share their talents by working together and teaching different age-appropriate classes to enrich our children's home school experience.
Classes are held from 9am-2:30pm for ages 2 - 12th grade. A mandatory set-up or clean-up job will be assigned to each family, with an estimated time commitment of 20 minutes (arrive by 8:40am or leave by 2:50pm). Since our Friday co-op is entirely produced by talented volunteer labor, we ask that one of the parents from each family teach or aide roughly half of the time they are in the building.
We apologize, but our Friday co-op is not a drop-off program and your volunteer commitment cannot be fulfilled by someone who is not the parent or legal guardian. We also are unable to accept children at our events that are not members of your family.
To be eligible for the Fall 2025 PCC LEAH Friday Co-op,
you must join PCC LEAH on or before July 15, 2025.
Visitor’s Day - If you would like to come visit and see what happens at Friday co-op, please fill out this form.
High School Extension - Many of our core high school classes (e.g., science, history, English) need more than the 20 weeks to complete. These core classes have extended meeting dates so students can finish the required course work with the same instructors and classmates.
PCC LEAH fields a First Lego League team for children 9-14 and several of our past teams have gone on to the FLL World's Championship.
PCC LEAH Science Fair Club
Our science fair club meets to help students in (approximately) grades 5-12 to create an awesome science fair project OR topic presentation. The Homeschool Science Fair Club also runs an annual Rochester Homeschool Science and Engineering Fair in March.
Standardized Testing
PCC LEAH sponsors 3 days of IOWA testing for grades 3rd - 12th with approved test administrators.
ESA, National Home School Honors Society - Sigma Iota Chapter
Sigma Iota is a non-denominational, Christ-centered chapter of ESA (Eta
Sigma Alpha) National Home School Honor Society. It is comprised of
students that use the Holy Bible as a guide for their own personal life
and to foster/strengthen godly leadership and servant-hood skills in all
their chapter activities. It exists to provide an opportunity for
academically excelled Christian homeschoolers residing in the
greater-Rochester area all the benefits of a high school level
scholastic honor society while at the same time encouraging them to
further grow in their walk with the Lord. We also place emphasis on
service and participate together in at least one service project each
school year. Additional personal service hours are also required. Our
chapter is in its seventeenth year.
PCC LEAH Graduation Ceremony
Graduating home school students are presented their diplomas by their parents at our graduation ceremony. PCC LEAH members are also eligible for the NYS LEAH Commencement ceremony; please note that sign up for NY LEAH's event is in December - February.
