Welcome To Educating with Integrity

Welcome to school today.
As you can see I was busy last night...I had been on a blog post from a sweet mom who described a blog that she created to keep track of the children's assignments and lesson plans. I had a great sense that this would be revolutionary for our home school. Of course this meant coming up with a name for our school, and those who know us will notice the similarity to our home building business name. I was thinking of different names, but I kept on coming back to the purpose we home school our children. We would like to provide our family with an education that instills a deep understanding of integrity.
Integrity can be defined as a consistency of ones actions, or the quality of having an intuitive sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard for the motivation of ones actions.
This is what we desire, we want our children to have every opportunity in their formative years to be in an environment that encourages a consistent teaching of the Bible with a firm understanding of how we should act everyday. More importantly we desire to give our children an education that teaches them how to act in the defining moments of their lives.
We believe this requires an education in integrity, in a caring home learning environment. As our children grow and start lives of their own, as they travel through each circumstance, our prayer is that they will choose to act in a Biblical manner. So, I think the name is appropriate, but the motto is my favorite...educating with Integrity...because that is our desire.
