HOME SCHOOL EDUCATION: Physical Education and Visual Arts

The Champions for Life, Inc. Homeschool Program is designed specifically for children in grades one through twelve and includes both Physical Education and Visual Arts units. Depending on the age of the student, we offer different classes and levels of instruction.

We offer:

  • PE Classes in a variety of sports, taught by coaches and instructors who specialize in those sports.

  • Visual Arts Classes in an array of disciplines

  • PE and Visual Arts classes that meet the New York State Department of Education Home Instruction requirements

  • Affordable session tuition, or drop-in fees, making CFL homeschool instruction accessible for all families

  • A safe, welcoming, and engaging environment!

Whether you are new to homeschooling, or if you are a seasoned pro and want to supplement your child’s education, CFL is here to support your family and your journey!

In addition to the homeschool classes that CFL offers, families can feel comfortable getting together here, sharing ideas with other homeschool parents, and planning for their children’s futures. CFL offers multiple weekly opportunities, and is always open to hearing the needs and ideas from you, the parents!

Class descriptions and scheduling will be coming out soon, but please plan on attending our Open House for Homeschool Families on September 24 from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Our instruction staff will be here to answer any questions you might have, the kids can have some free play in the gym, and you can register for sessions or classes in which you are interested!

Tuition will be based on three, ten week sessions. Each session will cost $100 per student for PE (student should choose to attend Tuesday OR Thursday), with a family max of $200 per session. For Art, each session will cost $100 per student, with a family max of $200 per session. For PE + Art, tuition will be $150 per student per session, with a family max of $300 per family.

Drop ins are welcome each week! The cost is $10/child and maximum of $30 for whole family for each class day attended. While there is no obligation to register ahead of time, we do appreciate knowing how many children to expect.

Registration will take place online or in person on 10/24, with no fee expected at that time. Families will be billed for their total based on what they register for, with payment expected before the first class.

Please note: Children must be 5 years of age by 1/1/26 to participate in the program. That being said, we understand there are several families that have younger siblings that would enjoy time at the sports center. We can allow for them to participate too, but only in the gymnasium and arena spaces not during programming.
