What Are Our Goals for Homeschooling?

We want our children to end up as the kind of people we'd like to see them become, with the type of education we'd like to see them have.

We don't agree with putting our children in someone's box. Standardized testing, rigid teaching methods, choreographed exercises and a "this is the way it's always been done" mentality don't allow children the freedom to grow. We don't support a "one size fits all" education. Learning is an intensely individual and complex process that should be tailored to fit.

We believe in the concept of a classical education including but not limited to literature, history, mathematics, science, the arts etc. Yet, we also want our children to learn practical life skills with the opportunity for hands on exploration.

We see The Scientific Process as a profound method for learning.

We want our children to keep a joyful interest in life & learning. We want them to discover they can accomplish anything based on their own merits. We want them to see that they are capable and competent individuals instead of training them to seek the approval of others as a measure of success.

We want to let each of our children to live, grow, and decide for themselves who they are, what they think, how they feel, and what their interests are.
