Integrated steps

Teaches kids to to approach education without fear- with humility and wonder
Theology is the Queen of all learning

Delight Directed

Favorite Classical Tools:

Integrated, wholistic approach to learning
Training the brain to action- pacing- retention
It is a wonderful psychology of learning

IT’s o.k. To try new things and it’s ok to quit. We get too busy focusing on being the expert.

Delight Directed learning

6 weeks on academics/ 1 week on delight directed/ plan/ menus, etc

Luke 2:52 “And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” An investigation into the meaning of the words used in the original text establishes a standard for judging historical interpretations of the passage.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
