Our intro and educational philosophy
Posted in Learning on the Narrow Path
|
Hi. I'm pretty new to the world of blogging, so I trust you will bear with me as I learn! I'm Anji, the 45-year-old mom of six amazing blessings: Martin, age 25 is engaged and living on the other side of the country from me. He was public schooled from 1-5th grades, homeschooled 6-10th and then private schooled 11-12th. He is our only child who has gone "to school." Blair is 15. She adores all things equine and is my "right hand gal" at home. John is 13 and is a real leader-type. It's so hard for him to be second oldest at home, the only boy at home and homeschooled with a family of girls! Kate is 10, gymnastically inclined, and full of sunshine. Christy is 8 and has the heart of a servant. Rose is 5 and enjoys every moment of being the baby of the family. Dearest Beloved is my DH. He works for a major Christian publisher in their homeschool division. Our educational philosophy determined the name of our school. We believe that our job as parents it to provide the tools of learning and the thirst for godly knowledge. Beyond that, we believe the Lord will guide our children into the fields He has chosen for them, and they will acquire the knowledge specific to those fields through purposeful study rather than random courses taken at the state's mandate. Tomorrow I'll attempt a brief history of our homeschooling journey thusfar. |
