EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHIES
Thomas Jefferson Education
We strongly draw upon principles from A Thomas Jefferson Education by Oliver DeMille which outlines leadership education including studying classics and pursuing one's life mission.
Teachings of Charlotte Mason
Influenced by Charlotte Mason’s teachings, we memorize scriptures and poems, read living books, sing folk songs and introduce handicrafts, folk dancing, and classical music.
Well-Educated Heart Philosophy
Inspired by Well-Educated Heart philosophy, we use powerful and memorable stories to teach. We also utilize the arts to warm their hearts to the subjects being taught.
“This class provides an exceptional learning experience with the teachers beautifully integrating U.S. history, the gospel, inspiring literature, hands-on activities, and service to inspire greatness." Lindy H.
HIGH QUALITY CURRICULUM
History
Our history curriculum comes from the Leadership Education Mentoring Institute for grades 6-9 including scholar projects. Curriculum from LEMI teaches leadership education by focusing on discussions, student presentations, simulations, and reading classics.
Leadership
We are using both the Heroic Youth program and the Belle Ame at Home club “Signers of the Declaration of Independence” which highlight the lives of great people and the principles by which they governed their lives. The students will also set goals and check in with accountability partners weekly.
Science
For science, we will be using the award winning Apologia and Berean Builders curriculum that include many hands on experiments and demonstrations throughout the lessons. We will also be reading "living books" from a Charlotte Mason science curriculum. These stories help science come alive and engage the students.
"It's everything I've been wanting and hoping to do at home. Thanks a million!" Kendra T.
Friendship and Community
We help foster friendship and community for both the students and mothers through weekly gatherings after class on Thursdays rotating between park days, service projects, and hiking. We also have regular field trips and include folk dancing, singing and group games during class to help build connections.
