Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve homeschooling families through a Christ-centered hybrid model of education. Our goals are to offer support for home education, to provide a Charlotte mason-inspired classroom experience, to promote God-honoring friendships, and to nurture a genuine love for learning in our students.
Our Approach
We are a Christian hybrid program inspired by the methods of Charlotte Mason and classical education. Our focus is to come along side homeschooling families and partner with them by providing two days of tutor-led, on-site learning and optional lesson plans for your days at home. Our program meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am-3pm. On-site days consist of shorter, age-appropriate class times with a push for educating the whole child through rich literature, character building, and multiple opportunities for outdoor play and learning. We offer multiple subject areas including Bible, math, language arts/phonics, history, science/nature study, artist/composer study, art and more during our days here on site. We would love to team up with you and support you on your homeschooling journey.
