Our Philosophy
We believe Hope Homeschool Academy exists to help students by preparing them to be discerning citizens with a love of God and a Christian world view. To achieve this, we believe individualized education with a balance of teacher-led and student-paced curriculum helps our students achieve educational and developmental success.
Finally, we believe that when these principles are combined in a collaborative environment of home and a non-denominational, Christ-centered school, students will develop to their fullest intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual potential, and allow them to become productive members of 21st century society.
In order to establish clarity in our philosophy and clarity in the culture of Hope Homeschool Academy, we define the following terms as part of our language and philosophy:
​
-
Hybrid Homeschool: Any educational experience wherein part of the work is done with students’ parents, at home, and in which parents are the final authority on each major educational decision.
-
Academy: A formal, structured environment of study and learning.
-
Christian: Individuals whose primary expression of faith is their belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the savior of humanity.
-
Nondenominational: an adjective, describing a group of people who represent a number of different Christian churches or denominations, and respect the unique perspectives that make the whole better than the sum of its parts.
In the context of these definitions, Hope Homeschool Academy clarifies its role as a new, Hybrid Homeschool Academy in Springfield, MO.
Statement of Faith
Christian Education
As a private, non-denominational Christian school, our goal is to provide an education in a safe, loving environment where parents, students, and educators can relate to one another based on their shared love of God, while respecting the different denominational values of each individual.
​
Therefore, all students, parents, guardians, and staff of members of Hope Homeschool Academy agree to accept the basic tenents of the statement of faith and Christian creeds identified by the C.S. Lewis Foundation, which identifies basic tenets of Christianity without identifying with a particular denominational doctrine.
