BELIEFS
We are a Christian Homeschool Co-Op and begin the day with a devotional, in order to help each student start off learning how to center their day with a Quiet Time and give them tools that help them discover their gifts and explore them. This is the heart of all we do. We believe that if students succeed academically but not spiritually, then they are missing the most important thing in their lives…how to have a relationship with their Creator and a deep prayer life.

HOMESCHOOL CO-OP
We offer curriculum one day a week in Bible/History/Literature and an opportunity for Math and Science with a second day in the arts with extra time in the morning for help. Students are still homeschooled and need to be registered as a Homeschooler. We are NOT an umbrella school or a tutoring service.  Instead, our goal is to walk aside parents to create a different kind of learning environment and study skills. Our classes, provide the structure to help them work through various curriculums.They are still responsible for completing their supplemental work/reading at home and be registered as Homeschoolers with their respective county.

 

GRADES 2nd – 5th
We offered Sonlight B in the 2021-2022 year.
We offered Sonlight C in the 2022-2023 year.
We will offer Sonlight D in the 2023-2024 year.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Because Middle School years are integral as we each seek to figure out our purpose, we plan to start our academic focus in Year 3-4, on 5th – 8th grades, helping students as they struggle through figuring out what they believe as it becomes their own belief. These students will be invited to help with instruction for 2nd – 5th grades.

 

FINANCIAL PEACE
We consider learning to manage finances a Fine Art and an important skill to learn. We plan to offer supplemental classes throughout the year, including Dave Ramsey’s Youth/Teen Version of Financial Peace University, because we believe it should be a priority for students to learn how to manage/use money as a part of their gifts. We also strongly encourage parents to take this class, as change typically happens when a whole family engages in it together.

STEEL – Students Teaching Elevated Education and Learning

Proverbs 27:17 – Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

Mission: Our Co-op mission is to help provide a strong foundation for students to start their day with prayer and scriptures. We will also focus on their gifts that God has equipped them with to enrich others’ lives. Because of this, we will start each day with a Quiet Time practice of devotion and prayer and asking the question about what our gifts are that we are to share with others. We believe that God has equipped each of us with different gifts and abilities in order to share and use them. (I Peter 4:10)

As a part of this, as the students grow, we plan to implement them learning to lead and teach. Teaching is a strong educator on its own and is a great way of learning and empower students to share their gifts and knowledge in areas that they love to learn.
