Education separates a child from the daily content of life.
~ John Taylor Gatto

    Is HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) membership required?

    Does the church school require you to attend regular meetings?

    Do you need a lot of support, such as choosing curriculum, finding resources, keeping records? Will the church school offer such assistance? Do they have advisors available by e-mail or telephone?

    How much is tuition? Is it per family or per child? Is it a yearly, quarterly, or monthly tuition?

    How does the church school keep members informed of activites and events? Website? E-mail list? Newsletter?

    Does the church school offer the activities you and your family are interested in? If not, is there a support group you can join that will provide those activites? Or do you need to find a different church school that will provide those activites?

Let's talk about learning and education as it should be, as it can be!




For The Children’s Sake
Foundations of Education for Home and School

by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
A book about what education can be--for your child, in your home, and in your school. It is based first on a Christian understanding of what it means to be human--to be a child, a parent, a teacher--and on the Christian meaning of life. At the same time it is deeply practical.


Christian Unschooling
Growing Your Children in the Freedom of Christ

by Teri J. Brown, Elissa M. Wahl
Utilizes the essays of Christian, unschooling parents from across the United States and Canada to reveal a new way of homeschooling-one that is respectful of the child, the parents and the way God created children to be.
