HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
We are grateful for the freedom to make educational choices as a family that fit with God’s vision and purpose for our family. We are grateful that we clearly understand why we are learning, and it is not because the law requires it.
WHY
We shared the Purpose for Our Homeschool:

“Point your kids in the right direction — when they’re old they won’t be lost.”
~Proverbs 22:6 (MSG)
We fully understand that this is our job and can’t be left up to
professional educators or children’s ministries.
We are grateful for the help of dedicated educators and ministers to supplement what
Father God has called us to do as stewards over these, His Children’s lives.
They came from Him in Heaven. He sent them to us here on Earth, but they belong to Him.
We are just their primary caretakers and mentors here on Earth.
So, as the stewards or managers of their education,
We are grateful to be free to choose when, how, where, what, and with whom we learn day by day.
WHERE
Even though we do school at home most days,
we are free to learn wherever we happen to be.
This gives us great joy and is one of our best freedoms.
We shared about our recent adventures:
–we used our swimming skills we’ve learned this summer during our vacation
–we were trained in CPR at the local firehouse and got a tour of it, also.
WHEN
We have an untraditional schedule which is centered around
the Daddy’s work schedule and the Mommy’s business schedule.
During the summer months and holiday seasons,
we usually modify our schedule to learn, as we have fun and stay active,
which we share about on our Adventures Page.
HOW
During the traditional school semesters (Fall, Winter, Spring),
we focus on learning in an integrated way and from a Biblical perspective.
For this year, we invested in a Bible-based curriculum called
Switched-On-Schoolhouse,
which has received a lot of great reviews, especially from larger families,
such as the Duggar Family, who talked about it in their book.
We hope that sharing about our journey of freedom as a homeschool family is a blessing to you. And hope that you’ll share about your journey with educating your kids, even if you don’t homeschool.
