Options In Home Education

Every child is a gift from God and is unique in perspective and learning style. Parents differ in philosophies of education and in which teaching methods they prefer. As a consequence no two families home school in exactly the same way. Before choosing the approach you will take for your child's education, it is good to remember that there is little value in comparing your program with another family's. What will work easily for one home school family may not work at all for you and your child.

The links on this page will lead to information on learning styles, methods and educational philosophies. We encourage you to seek the Lord for insight and wisdom, and to take time to research the options open to you for putting together your own home school program.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5
