Q:

A:

A homeschool cooperative is a group of home educators and thier children coming together to provide adcamedic and enrichment opportunties for their children. HC is the functionality and standards by which, our homeschool academy operates. 

Q:

A:

Any family and/or homeschooling family may become a member. 

However, we unashamedly believes, teaches, and practices a literal interpretation of the Word of God. If you do not agree with our faith, mission and beliefs, joining our homeschool group and/or enrolling your child in our academy will likely cause confusion. For example, if a question regarding biblical lifestyles arises in chapel or your child’s classroom, the teacher will answer from a biblical viewpoint consistent with our mission and belief statement. If your beliefs and lifestyle choices are not in agreement with our biblical doctrinal stance, that answer will likely create conflict. This internal conflict could drive a wedge between us, as a organization, you and your child, cause your child to negatively judge you as a parent, or force your child to choose between our teaching and what he or she learns at home. We respect your desire to place your child in the best possible learning environment, but if you are not in full agreement with our biblical doctrinal positions, it will be best for all concerned if you do not join and/or enroll your child. 

Biblical principles are integrated into every subject taught at our academy. Our parents/staff/volunteers is committed not only to academic excellence, but also to teaching students how to apply the truths of God’s Word to every aspect of life (Gal 5:16-26). If you are in agreement with the teachings of God’s Word, this co-op will complement the beliefs and ideals your child is taught at home. We look forward to partnering with you to educate your child in God’s truth.

Q:

A:

Yes. We firmly uphold Biblical values, integrate them into our teaching, and apply the same in our everyday lives. We have adopted an admissions policy that opens the school and co-op to spiritually like-minded families who support our philosophy, objectives, and standards of education. We aim to serve families who desire a private education, a distinctively Christian education, and cooperative learning for their children.

Q:

A:

No. Pagan holidays such Christmas and Easter do not teach or testify of Christ Jesus as the scriptures have said.

We believe in the birth, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  In that, is it imperative that His Disciples teach of Christ as the scriptures have said.

-"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." -Luke 24:44
