God-Centered Homeschool Curriculum

Fathers and mothers are responsible for raising children in the atmosphere of the Lord's nurture. Parents are the primary teachers — lessons are discussion-driven, read-aloud friendly, and designed to foster meaningful conversations in the home.

• Fathers and mothers lead their children's formation — intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and practically.
• The father's involvement is called for at key, strategic points in the daily and weekly rhythm.
• God's recommended curriculum — Proverbs, Psalms, the Gospels — is foundational to any God-centered education.
• A careful eye on the child's spiritual condition, faith, and character is crucial throughout the learning process.
• The development of faith and character is absolutely essential, even when addressing difficult academic subjects.

Students learn to interpret ideas through the lens of Scripture and to bring every thought captive to Christ. The fear of God is not one subject among many — it is the most essential building block of all knowledge.

• The Word of God must be a frontlet before our children's eyes — woven into doorposts, walls, and lessons.
• Jesus Christ must be preeminent in history, literature, and science (Col. 1:18).
• Children must be prepared with strong biblical foundations and robust apologetics (2 Cor. 10:4–6).
• The materialism and anti-supernaturalism of modern science cannot be tolerated — God's creative hand must be assumed and taught.
• God's providential hand must be assumed and taught in the history class.
• Christ's kingdom and His church must become more important in the student's mind than the empire-building of the ages.

The best teachers write the best books — but we must always prefer Christian teachers, because our children will become like them. The great Christian writings are the compendium of the pastors and teachers God has given the church over the past 2,000 years.

• The best books and teachers are those with a biblical worldview — those who honor God as the source of all knowledge.
• Abiding and enduring books are worth reading a thousand times more than the books that come and go through the centuries.
• Great Christian writers and thinkers form the backbone of our literature curriculum — cultivating wisdom, character, and faithfulness.
• Once children are well-rooted in a Christian worldview, they are equipped to engage the worldviews and literature of the unbelieving world.

Learning leads to prayer, praise, and practical obedience. Knowledge is not stored for pride — it is used in service to Christ. Without life application, knowledge is fleeting and reduces to pride.

• Mentorship and discipleship must include a walk-along element — as Christ patterned for us.
• True reverence will result in worship. Children must be trained to praise and worship God in the chemistry laboratory, the history classroom, and every area of life.
• "Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31) — this is the great purpose and end of all learning for the Christian.
• Every lesson is an opportunity to move from new understanding to prayer, praise, and practical obedience.
