Our children need a school that is safe — not only physically, but spiritually.
We believe the responsibility of raising the next generation is both a privilege and a calling. As parents and educators, our desire is to help equip children with God’s Word so they can grow in wisdom, discernment, and faith as they engage with the world around them.
In Mark 12:17, Jesus said,
“Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
While this verse is often discussed in terms of civic responsibility, it also reminds us of a deeper truth: our children ultimately belong to God. Their hearts, minds, and lives are His, and their education should reflect that reality.We believe learning is never spiritually neutral. The shaping of a child’s mind and character should be rooted in a view of the world that acknowledges and honors God.
Scripture tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16–17,
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”God’s Word is not simply an addition to education — it is a foundation. When students learn to see every subject through the lens of Scripture, they grow not only in knowledge, but in character, purpose, and faith.
Our goal is to partner with families in cultivating young men and women who are self-governing, thoughtful, and grounded in truth — students whose lives are guided by conviction, wisdom, and a love for what is good.
Above all, we remember that we belong to God, and we seek to reflect that truth in the way we teach, lead, and learn together.

We do not offer sports or clubs, but we will connect you with either your local school district or home school sports and clubs.
Our program actually lends itself well to students who are involved in extracurriculars because they will have more time to give to such endeavors.

We will be assessing your student every time we are working together. For lower grades, we want the students and parents to focus on the learning and not the grades, and therefore, grades will not be given. Since we work so closely with each student and family, we will be able to communicate each week to a family if we see the child not meeting expectations. For high school students, grades are one aspect that we can see effort and we use them to create the transcript to send to colleges. We will provide you with a transcript for each high school student.

Our program covers all required learning goals and state standards set by the IL Department of Education for grades K-12, delivered from a Christian perspective. The programs we use are written by certified teachers and cover all subjects needed for a strong academic, as well as biblical, foundation. We may teach topics in a different order than taught in the public schools, but everything is covered.
All the feedback we have received from high school students using the curriculum we will be using shows that they are testing above average on the SAT and ACT tests. Many graduates have been reported to have received merit-based university scholarships.
While we are happy to share about the academic achievements of those who have graduated using the curriculum we have chosen, we are more pleased that these young men and women have received unparalleled Bible and character training. My Father's World curriculum is one of the few available that requires students to complete a comprehensive overview of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, three times before graduation. The third time through, our high school students are responsible for reading every verse of the Old Testament (9th grade) and the New Testament (10th grade) in a responsive way. This expectation, coupled with instruction in a Biblical worldview, complete church history, and apologetics, prepares young adults to be launched into effective service in the Kingdom of God. For these reasons, in addition to a strong academic standard, we believe My Father's World curriculum stands out compared to other curriculum options.
