When a family decides that True Education is their goal, they have chosen to move beyond a “school-in-a- box” approach to homeschooling. True Education is not just a stack of books and lesson plans to complete, it is a complete life focus, not just for the children, but the entire household.

The scope of True Education is much broader and deeper than any publisher’s curriculum outline. True Education is not just about conquering the multiplication table or learning a set of spelling rules. With True Education, there is not just a mind to fill, but also a character to shape, and a body to train for work and service for God- a complete education of the whole person.

Let’s not limit ourselves to what the table of contents in a textbook says we should know. True Education challenges us to strive for more than a perfect score on the SAT. It “embraces more than merely having a knowledge of books. It takes in everything that is good, virtuous, righteous, and holy. It comprehends the practice of temperance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love to God and to one another.” {CG 297}
