The Next Stage

We have had the pleasure of graduating many students over the last 12 1/2 years as Guilford Christian Academy. We have gone from just a graduate or two to dozens in a year. We have worked hard at making our school credible and we hold to standards that we feel are important for that credibility.

With this job comes long hours and lots and lots of paperwork. We cry tears of joy and anguish as we see students moving onto the next stage of life and those that loose life so young. We have relationships with more people than ever before and they are all over the state. We love our job!

We have seen students grow up and become wonderful young adults, caring, loving, and responsible. Their parents are proud of who they have become. These students are our future, they will become the leaders of our towns, state and country.

Over the last 5 years or so we have seen a large increase in homeschoolers and it is very exciting! So, have you been thinking about homeschooling but just don’t think you can do it? I beg to differ with you. We have families with just one parent, families with lots of young ones, families with disabled children, many, many types of families. You can do it!

I remember when I first thought about homeschooling many years ago. My oldest was in 7th grade and the two younger ones were just coming up to school age. I started to think how nice it was going to be to have two of them in school and the quiet days I would have, etc. Then I started looking into homeschooling on a whim and realized that I wanted to do this for our children (it is really not about what is good for us). I talked to my husband and he was very skeptical, it had to be a joint effort, he had to be for it or I would not do it. We are a team, right? So, he agreed with a trial period and we have not turned back.Maine, Statehouse, homeschool fieldtrip

The Next Stage of life for us was one of little monetary gain but the rewards are oh so huge. We moved to Maine on a small farm, raised some animals and lived a meager life. The children got to play in the woods and climb trees, oh and take care of the animals, it is funny how that got to be old in later years, ;). Mom and Dad were home everyday, and we took the kids with us everywhere we went. We took them to the statehouse to fight bills, we took them to meetings that we went to, we took them to the conventions that we ran, everywhere. Most of the time they enjoyed the trips and got to see friends that they saw only once a year at those meetings.

So, we enjoyed homeschooling so much and were seeing the fruits of it with our family and wanted to be an encouragement and help to those that would like to homeschool. And that was the birth of Guilford Christian Academy, we would love to see everyone homeschool but we realize that some are just not able to. The Lord has a plan for everyone and it is not the same for you and for me. We invite anyone that is interested in homeschooling whether you think you will want to be under a RAPPS or file a Letter of Intent to give us a call and talk through some of the concerns you may have. We are here to help you with the next stage.

Summer Time!

It is FINALLY summer here in Maine! It seems to take so long to get here and then it only lasts for a short time. There is gardening, camping, swimming, and other outdoor activities going on and the busyness of life seems to pick up.

This is still a time of learning for your students, even though we don’t necessarily think it is. So, look at things a little differently and document the things you do over the course of the summer. You will be amazed. I know some of you do “school” over the summer months so that your students don’t loose everything they have spent 9 months learning. We did that from time to time.

We came to the realization over the years that our children learned a lot by doing. They would make movies, work, help in the garden, go to the state park, family vacation, shop (yes shopping is learning), and more. They got together with friends and went fishing or to the movies. It is a time full of learning. LearHPIM1998ning about different plants and what they produce, how to care for them so they don’t die (or the wildlife eats them). How to edit a movie so that it flows well and remove the bloopers, the worth of money (which isn’t much today) and how to spend it wisely. Socialization and lots of it, how to cook over an open fire and what foods are best to do that, and much more.

Many tend to think we do not do enough with our children as homeschoolers but the fact is they are learning all the time. We expose them to real life skills and situations that develop them into leaders and not followers. We allow them to fly with their passions and really enjoy learning about the things that interest them. We give them the opportunity to be what they want to be and help them to accomplish their dreams and goals. WE ROCK! as they would say.

So, enjoy the summer, make every moment a learning moment and have fun doing it. Make the memories that will last through their adulthood and share the love of learning with your children.

Happy Homeschooling!
