Workshop 3 - Friday, 2:45-3:45pm
Big or small, grand or modest, every house has blueprints that includes a foundation, a frame, and rooms to fill. The same is true for home education! Like a house, this way of life needs a strong foundation, a workable frame, and rooms to fill with all “pleasant and precious riches” as described in Proverbs 24:3-4. If you don’t have a biblical blue print for your homeschool—or need to remodel the one you’ve got—join us for an insightful look at a biblical blueprint for home education.” No building experience required!
