Philosophy

In our home, we believe the following:
-Each of our children was born with gifts and a unique mission to discover and fulfill
-Faith in God and His ability to magnify our abilities and lead us is central to developing our full potential
-Our methods and systems need to change according to season and needs of our learners
-Our children learn different things in different ways and at different ages
-Our children need to learn to work
-Sometime less is more
-Learning happens all the time and is a lifestyle, not a mode we turn "on" and "off"

I have loved and applied the Thomas Jefferson Education approach that includes the following:
-Inspire, Not Require
-Classics, Not Textbooks
-You, Not Them
-Structure Time, Not Content
-Simplicity, Not Complexity
-Quality, Not Conformity
-Mentors, Not Professors
 Read "A Thomas Jefferson Education" for further insight and the companion volume of "Leadership Education" for further clarification.

Here are some resources that you can peruse that have inspired and reinforced my philosophy:
