Our Mission
Using God's creation to grow and nurture young minds in a small group learning environment. Preserving childhood and fostering a love of learning by partnering and equipping parents to give their child the education they want and need. Christ-based because He is all that matters.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." - Deuteronomy 6:5
We believe at the end of our lives, God will care more about how we loved Him and others rather than at what age we learned to read at a certain grade level or how high we scored on the SAT. However, we are also called to be stewards of what He has given us, so we believe in developing a child's mind in the way God designed that child to be.
Expectations
We realize our approach may not be the right fit for all families (even though we wish it were!) So if you are seriously interested in this instructor share program, we ask you agree with the following bullet points concerning our foundational beliefs before contacting us:
-
We love Jesus and will teach about Him in a non-denominational way, which means we stick to what the Bible says and do not push any certain denomination.
-
We LOVE God's creation and believe we should take care of it.
-
We realize God has created each one of us (including our children) in a special, unique way. None of us are exactly alike, so our mission is to appreciate our children's learning differences, strengths, and weaknesses.
-
We believe in open communication and ask that you, the parents, communicate with the instructors directly and not gossip or use slanderous language if a disagreement should arise. If a miscommunication occurs, which at some point may happen, we will strive to right the miscommunication as soon as possible.
-
We trust our instructors' skills and years of experience, which is why our own children are a part of this program; therefore, we will let the instructors have the freedom to teach as they deem necessary.
-
We are not a school, but we are a private instructor share, which means we have the ability to keep our groups small and teach in a specific and intentional way for each child.
-
We want families to be involved in their children's education. If this involvement is not something your family desires, please reconsider whether this program is an appropriate match for your family's lifestyle. This method will not work if both parents work full-time without other help in the home. This instructor share SHOULD NOT be expected to replace all the work to be done at home. However, we want to help as many families as possible to homeschool their children, so please contact us if you have any questions about this and we can go over in more detail what take home work will look like or check out our FAQs page.
-
We are not competing against or comparing your children to broad-based expectations that are set by the pubic school system. We do believe we will help prepare your children at an appropriate learning rate.
-
We want to develop independent, creative, self-disciplined, caring, kind, responsible, and motivated children who are leaders in their generation and not merely followers.
Statement of Faith
Jesus-based - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
We believe there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ.
Family-based - "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." Genesis 2:24
We believe that God created the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman
Creation-based -"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." Genesis 2:1-2
We believe that God created everything in six days and rested on the seventh
Children matter - Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew. 19-14
We want your child to understand that he/she is one of God's unique creations. Each child is one-of-a kind and was placed on this beautiful earth at precisely the right time God wanted him or her to be here to fulfill their specific purpose.
