Wisdom's Way Academy
Prov 4:5 Aquire wisdom! Aquire understanding!

SPIRITUAL PHILOSPHY OF EDUCATION:

"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
Because God has placed the responsiblity for teaching children with parents, we Jerry and Neysa Spurrier find it necessary to operate a school for our children in which we as teachers, the curriculum and the environment are in accord with Biblical principles.

We declare that our children should be taught how to live a full and complete life to the glory of God. This education must take into consideration all of our children's needs--spiritual, academic, physical and social. We recognize that training in all of these areas in crucial for the development of the total child.

We, Jerry and Neysa, shall provide a quality education and shall develop in our children good study habits, the ability and desire to continue the process of education, strong moral character, honesty, dependability, and appreciation for physical labor, and encourage the development of self-disipline and responsiblity in the student, based on respect for and submission to God.

Our aim is to help our children develop their personalities based on proper understanding and acceptance of themselves as unique individuals created in the image of God and on the fullest possible development of their own capabilities.

ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION:

We believe: 1) Boys and girls differ in verbal, mechanical and reasoning skills-boys generally developing verbal skills late than girls; and girls generally developing mechanical and reasoning skills later than boys. Homeschooling allows for those differences.
2)Children differ in learning styles--auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. The tutorial nature of home teaching provides the maximum flexiblity in providing each child with an optimum learning environment suited to his individual needs.
3) Pressure to perform at certain levels before a child's readiness is attained, lead to learning disabilities. Homeschooling adjusts to late learning needs.
4) A natural motivation when a child learns alongside parents and witnesses their enthusiasm.
5) The most thorough application of knowledge is found in the classroom of life.
