We believethatchildren belong toGodwhohasgiven theresponsibility andauthorityfor their education totheparentsand thatitistheirresponsibility to protectthisparental right.

Family Unity Policy

We believe that God intends for our family life to be united and that having all the children in our household working together in the same homeschooling environment is the best way to maintain unity in our goals. We feel that having our students in differing school programs, especially public school programs would be divisive and a conflict of interest. We will not enroll families who are not able to be the main educator all of the children in their household through independent private Christian homeschooling at this time.
