Faith & Philosophy
I grew up in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savoir when I was 9. i was baptized soon after. I have always been involved with church.
We have been homeschooling our first-born since preschool but are wanting to move to a hybrid approach for the social component and lessening the load with two younger children as well. I love the philosophy and curriculum of Saints. It is also in an ideal location for us.
We pray and read our Bibles and Bible story books together. We also talk about God and His ways when we discipline.
I hope that my child grows academically, spiritually, and socially at Saints. Academically, I hope that my child improves in spelling, curiosity, and perseverance. I hope that he learns to ask good questions and grows in not giving up quickly when something is challenging. Spiritually, I hope that my child learns more about who God is and how to honor Him with his life. Socially, I hope my child grows in confidence, comes out of his shell more, and makes great friends.
I understand that classical education focuses on learning through the Trivium and a Christian model would do that through a Biblical worldview. Classical education is focused on the pursuit of truth and God is the source of all truth. It also focuses on developing critical thinking and communication skills.
We try to parent with grace, love, truth, and discipline. Our goal is to raise children that know, love and follow the Lord, but we know that we cannot save. Only God can do that.

Cason Sheffield 1st Grade → 2nd
We need a drop off program to lighten our homeschooling load, dive deeper into subjects like science and history, and provide more socialization. We've been involved in a Classical Conversations co-op in the past, but a drop off tutorial will better fit our needs during this season with babies and toddlers at home as well.
Cason is bright, funny and creative. He loves playing with his brothers, reading, building with Legos, doing crafts, being outside, playing video games, and Pokemon.
He loves reading and science experiments. He can be rigid and struggle with motivation when something is difficult or something he doesn't want to do. This is another reason I think it will benefit him to be in a class with other kids his age.
Our discipline involves correction and warnings, then being sent to his room or losing toys or screens. If he is sent to his room or loses something, he usually responds with defiance or anger initially, then compliance and reconciliation.
