The Sacramento Christian Organization of Parent Educators is a nonprofit Christian organization established in 1984. Our purpose is to provide information, support, encouragement and training to private, independent home educators in the Sacramento area. Governed by an elected Board of Directors who adhere to a Statement of Faith, we believe our children are gifts from God and that the Holy Scriptures grant Christian parents the right and responsibility to teach and train their children according to Biblical standards. If you are a home educator not under the jurisdiction of a government school, we invite you to take advantage of the following valuable benefits by becoming SCOPE subscribers:

Monthly Chat Group Meetings
Chat Groups are designed to provide on-going support for parents in regional small-group settings.  Chat group members also sponsor and organize activities, field trips, group learning classes and parties for the children, often enjoying group discounts for these activities.  Those inquiring may attend three meetings or activities before deciding to become subscribers.  All chat group members must be SCOPE subscribers.    Chat FAQs

Monthly Newsletter
Subscribers receive SCOPE News, our monthly publication, which serves to keep subscribers informed of  various activities and pertinent information affecting home educators in the greater Sacramento area.  
Includes inspiring articles and regular columns to encourage and challenge parents in this important calling.
Resource Library
The SCOPE Library offers many free resource materials including curricula, audio cassettes, videos, parenting books and inspirational reading available for one month check-out by our subscriber families.

Randy Aimo Memorial Scholarships
Scope is pleased to administer two brand new scholarships. The Randy Aimo Memorial Scholarships have been graciously funded by Cathy Aimo in loving memory of her husband Randy, who recently went home to be with the Lord. Like the David Gadd Memorial Scholarships, these new scholarships will be awarded annually to one young man and one young woman and may be used for a variety of post secondary programs including colleges, universities, ministry training schools, and apprenticeship programs.

and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
