About Nolichuckey Baptist Homeschool Academy
Distinctly Collaborative
NBHA is distinctively “collaborative.” This model has a well-established track record of success across the country. The following provides a brief explanation of the collaborative model we intend to use, as well as resources for further reading and consideration.
Background
As the names suggest, the model aims to combine the best attributes of homeschooling with the best attributes of traditional schooling, integrating them into one educational experience under one cohesive curriculum.
Students will learn in the classroom two days per week with professional, qualified teachers. This will be a full school day with the full range of subjects. Parents will teach lessons and oversee assignments on the alternate home school days. Friday day will be used as flex day or for potential additional coursework at home and field trips.
Distinctly Christian
Nolichuckey Baptist Homeschool Academy is distinctively “Christian” and is committed to upholding the core, historical doctrines of Christianity. But Christianity is more than a subject. The goal of Christian education is to form students into learners and lovers of God.
At NBHA, Christian teachers and staff will be unashamedly committed to our Statement of Faith and will seek to uphold the family and church as God’s normal means for discipleship.
Practical Implications
- Partnering with Parents. Rather than replacing the home, NBHA will work to partner with parents as they take primary responsibility for the discipleship of their children.
- Christian Teachers. Teachers do not merely deliver knowledge—they instruct through their lives and character as well. So NBHA will expect teachers to uphold the statement of faith and model Christian behavior.
- Christian Worldview. Our greatest goal is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. We are made in the image of God, but our greatest problem is our sinful hearts. Our greatest solution is the complete person and work of Jesus Christ. These truths will be foundational for the teaching at NBHA.
- Formation & Information. Education happens both through information and formation. So an important part of NBHA will be modeling and instilling the love of excellence through joyful, high standards.
