We affirm that all children are made in the image of God and deserve a robust, engaging, living, diligent, and formative education. We draw from Charlotte Mason and classical education philosophies—and we’re not afraid to incorporate unit studies too. Our educational worldview has been shaped by the writings of Charlotte Mason, Karen Glass, C.S. Lewis, David Hicks, Kevin Clark, and Ravi Scott Jain.
