"Who is it that is victorious over the world,
but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."
1 John 5:5

 

Homeschool Information:

          My husband, David and I believe that the Lord holds parents accountable for the education of their children, whether it is through homeschooling, private schools or public education.

         For this reason we have felt lead to home educate our daughter, Sarah since 1995. Sarah is now in high school.

 

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it"
Proverbs 22:6

Here are some home-school related links that we have found useful:

Home-School Legal Defense Association

     The Home-school Legal Defense Association is an organization that provides its members with information and if necessary, legal help in matters pertaining to home-school issues. It is well worth the yearly membership fee.

Alpha Omega Publications

  This fine company supplies our home-school with its current curriculum. We have used Switched-On Schoolhouse Software and it is a very comprehensive and yet user friendly program. A God-send for the busy parent, it provides not only the entire curriculum in an easy to use format, but does the record keeping and most of the grading.

We have also used Life Packs books and think they are also very easy to use. Both curriculum offer a full range of sources for grade and high school students.

Home-schooling parents will find this monthly magazine to be an excellent source of information and ideas for the entire family. It also contains advertisements for curriculum, book and equipment sources that can prove invaluable to a busy parent.

with all your soul, and with all your strength.

And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house,

when you lie down, and when you rise up."
