The Problem
The homeschooling community in North Texas has significant gaps. Many minority families often report a lack of academic excellence, cultural inclusion, and authentic community connection in existing co-operative learning environments. This problem is compounded by a shortage of accredited options for junior high and high school students. Families who prioritize a child-centered education find themselves without the necessary resources, and others who un-school through elementary years are left with academic gaps, forcing them back into a traditional education system they would prefer to avoid.
We are proponents of parent choice and believe in finding the right fit for every child. To that end, we also know that the landscape for alternative and homeschool-style education can and must offer real solutions to the concerns of its community. These are just a few of the pressing matters that need to be addressed, and they do not represent all the issues present.

Who we are
Mission & Values
Value #1
Every person is valuable to God.
Every person is valuable to God. Full stop! God made us to bear His image. We embrace the nuances that make us unique and lean into, not away from, the cultural
and individual richness that represents each of our students, staff and volunteers. We see, accept, and love you on purpose.
Value #2
We empower children to question, create, and lead.
Every child possesses unique, boundless potential. We believe education must go beyond simply acquiring knowledge; it should teach students to apply their gifts to the world around them. Our goal is to empower learners to question, create, and lead—to become the architects of their own lives and active contributors to a more just society.
Value #3
Partnership with parents is vital to success in education.
We believe that family is a child's first, best, and most consistent educator. We honor the sacred role of parents as guides and mentors, holding their child's safety and well-being as our highest priority. Our instructors are committed to supporting this vision, using their expertise to provide a clear path to help each child meet their goals.
