Paradice Academy Mission Statement
My purpose is to train up my children in the ways of the Lord, to love Him and serve Him all the days of their lives. In so doing, I want to help my children to own their faith, so they will have a personal and close relationship with Jesus Christ. I desire to have my children see Christ's mercy and grace in my life. I promise to love, encourage, teach and correct them and to surround them with men and women who profess their faith in Jesus. With the Lord's blessing I will raise my children to do their best, realize their potential through Christ, develop a concern for others' needs and use their talents for God's glory.

Academic Goals
To develop a Christian worldview where we view everything we learn and all of life in the light of the Word.

To raise confident and independent thinkers who have courage and strength of character to think and make decisions for themselves based on Scripture, truth and logic.
To instill a life-long love of learning.
To teach my children homemaking skills such as cooking, baking, cleaning, scheduling, and money management.

You will find this to be very helpful on those days when you just want to give up. We all sometimes need a reminder of just why we're doing this.
