How We Are Changing Education
Pioneers of the Parent-as-Educator Movement
We are powered by parent genius. We equip parents as educators with accessible teaching opportunities. We support parental agencies in identifying appropriate learning opportunities that value the parents’ professional experience, educational credentials, areas of interest, and racial/ethnic identity. We provide a platform for homeschooling parents with a minimum graduate degree and 18+ hours in the subject matter to be dual credit instructors for their students.

Our Goals:
We provide a comprehensive curriculum overseen by a blend of both credentialed and experienced homeschooling parents. To maintain high standards, each course syllabus undergoes review by a credentialed instructor, ensuring alignment with academic excellence. This collaborative approach combines expertise and practical experience to deliver a quality educational experience. Through community teaching initiatives and strategic partnerships, we ensure equitable access to essential resources, fostering inclusivity in education. Our on-site facilities, including a library and gymnasium, further enrich the dynamic learning environment we offer to homeschooling families.
We cultivate a supportive community through regular parent support groups and engaging events such as spelling bees, science fairs, and career showcases. By providing opportunities for social interaction and academic enrichment, we foster a sense of belonging and encouragement among our members. Our commitment to celebrating diverse interests and talents ensures that every student feels valued and empowered to pursue their passions.
We infuse our program with energy by offering enriching field trips once a month, where students explore botanical gardens, museums, and cultural landmarks. On alternate Fridays, our focus shifts to engaging clubs and extracurricular activities, providing opportunities for students to delve into interests like the Beta Club, 4-H, art honors society, and more. Through these experiences, we inspire curiosity, foster a sense of belonging, and cultivate leadership skills, preparing students for success in a dynamic world.
We empower our members to advocate for homeschooling rights and actively engage in legislative processes. Through partnerships with organizations like the Home School Legal Defense Association and the Georgia Home Educators Association, we provide resources and support for families to navigate legal challenges and protect their educational freedoms. By amplifying our collective voice and advocating for positive change, we empower homeschooling families to shape the future of education.
To cultivate a vibrant homeschooling community where every family has access to enriching educational resources and opportunities, empowering students to thrive and excel in their learning journey.
Our mission is to provide homeschooling families with comprehensive support, innovative programs, and a nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement. Through collaborative teaching, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to inclusivity, we empower parents and students to achieve their fullest potential and drive positive change in education.
Our goal is to equip, encourage, energize, and empower homeschooling families through a blend of credentialed instruction, community support, engaging activities, and advocacy efforts. We strive to ensure that every student receives a well-rounded education, enriched by diverse experiences, and supported by a network of dedicated parents and educators. By fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and empowerment, we aim to create a dynamic learning ecosystem that prepares students for success in an ever-changing world.
