Catholic Heritage Curricula

What Catholic Heritage Curricula does

Catholic Heritage Curricula (CHC), operating as CHC Publishing, Inc., is a Texas-incorporated private publisher founded in 1993 that sells Catholic homeschool curriculum directly to consumers through its own WooCommerce storefront at chcweb.com. The company serves Catholic families homeschooling children from preschool through eighth grade (with a high-school tier recently added to its site navigation), targeting households that want academically rigorous instruction with Catholic doctrinal content integrated across reading, spelling, grammar, literature, science, religion, history, geography, handwriting, math, and art. CHC's catalog includes grade-level Core Kits (priced $108.35-$376.45) and individually priced workbooks and booklets (typically $8.95-$34.95), built around named proprietary series such as Little Stories for Little Folks, My Catholic Speller, Language of God, The Treasure Trove of Literature, Behold and See, Saints and Seasons, and Ever Ancient Ever New Art.

The core technology is a content publishing operation rather than a software product: curriculum material is delivered as printed textbooks, workbooks, lesson plans, and select e-books/digital downloads, with e-commerce, payment processing (Authorize.net), sales-tax calculation (TaxJar), address verification (Loqate), email marketing (Klaviyo), web analytics (Google Analytics), and outsourced order fulfillment and customer service (5 Stones) handled through third-party platforms. Marketing and demand generation rely on a free print/digital catalog (magalog), sample-page content, organic social, and a newsletter funnel, with no paid-retargeting or app surface evident.

Commercially, CHC runs a pure direct-to-consumer one-time-purchase model with no tuition, subscription, or enrollment fees and no third-party retail distribution. Pricing is per-unit/per-kit with a final-sale Bargain Basement channel for discounted inventory. Revenue, funding, and ownership data are not publicly disclosed; the company appears founder-operated or privately held with no institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no leadership transitions in the available record. The company is headquartered in Irving, TX with 101-250 employees and has been operating for over 30 years.
