Why We Homeschool

We believe that education begins at birth and that a child should neither be left behind while the class moves on nor made to idle academically while waiting for others to catch up. Education must meet the individual, not vice versa.

We believe that when children have stability in their surroundings, love, encouragement, and gentle discipline, together with the freedom to wonder (and even wander a fair bit), explore, imagine, and ask questions that they will more readily absorb, understand and retain knowledge.

We believe that when children are given the proper foundation, they will grow to be lifelong learners and will have the tools necessary to succeed in the life they choose for themselves.

Our school strives for academic excellence across the curriculum. For this reason, we have chosen to use the classical model as the foundation of our educational instruction.
