"It is our task to faithfully teach our children the ways of God. It is the Holy Spirit's task to work through the Word of God to change their hearts. What your children need is spiritual nurturing."
-Tedd Tripp, Shepherding a Child's Heart
"We see this as our first and greatest educational goal: to provide good homes; homes where the children are not "burned out" by classroom pressures; homes where warm, responsive, consistent care guarantee the most efficient education."
-Raymond Moore, Home Grown Kids
"The aim of education is to prepare children to live in contemporary society; to develop their relationship with God, His world, and people; and to cultivate an appreciation of culture and ideas. This includes the necessity of being able to ask questions, to draw their own conclusions, and to become independent thinkers." -Diane Lopez, Teaching Children
"Jesus is Lord of all life! Study to be in a living relationship with Him, and you grow in firm understanding of all that is around us. Let us take our childrens’ hands and be their companions in this walk of faith and life." -Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, For the Children's Sake
