	While CCHE does not endorse any specific curricula, we can get you started with some of the more popular curricula available. In many cases, the curricula is listed with a link to the publisher's website. However, many items are available locally through a representative, or our two area homeschool stores. We encourage you to support local representatives and retailers. They provide valuable service, help and support to the homeschool community.
