Today, I spent a whole lot of uninterrupted time just trying to choose which homeschooling aspect to work on, first... I decided to revisit the ideas and reasons that helped us decide that this path is for us. Many homeschools have a mission statement - a few sentences that state how homeschooling got on their radar, and why they choose this path of education as the best one, for their family. Here is our mission statement:
The Salt and the Light : School of Life
Our Family's Mission Statement
2013 - 2014
Our family’s
mission is to develop life-long learners with an indestructible faith in Jesus
Christ, our only Savior from all sin and death.
We acknowledge that this is gained through prayer, and from reading and
hearing biblical truths. We are committed
to providing a strong and solid
educational foundation for our children, using their passions and learning
styles as helpful assets in achieving this.
We will maintain a Christian worldview.
We will
place great priority on enhancing, respecting, and celebrating genuine and loving relationships with each other,
while reminding ourselves that both abilities and struggles, & similarities
and differences are all God-given.
We will enjoy
the privilege of instilling an eagerness and joyful willingness in our children
to continually seek to understand & carry out God’s unique plan for each of
their lives. We will strive to raise
children that will grow up to be kind, well-adjusted, well-prepared adults, one
day too soon; responsible citizens, aware of others’ needs, who internally desire
to be the salt and the light with every opportunity.
Any, and all, of this will be accomplished only through the almighty power, strength, grace, and everlasting love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
