for the 2023-2024 school year!
Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the homeschooling information, curriculum choices, homeschooling methods available? Branches can help!
Branches Homeschool Academy has two different, and simple, homeschooling programs to support your homeschooling journey!
EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORK
Branches offers a biblically-integrated and academically-excellent education for students grades kindergarten through 12th. Our classes are designed to provide structure to families who may feel overwhelmed by curriculum options; it takes the guesswork, research time, lesson planning, and stress out of selecting individual curricula. As stated in the mission statement, we exist to partner with parents. We believe you are the primary educator.
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” You are responsible for the holistic training up of your child. Branches aims to partner with you.
experiential learning
Facilitating meaningful work that puts students in the driver’s seat.
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
Benjamin Franklin
character
development
Mentoring students to grow in Christ-like character.
“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12-13
Biblical worldview
Grounding curriculum and instruction in the Word of God.
“Scripture is like a lion. Whoever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose, it will defend itself.” C. H. Spurgeon
TEamwork
Promoting accountability and service by working with peers to collaborate and problem solve.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17

tuesday program
Branches Homeschool Academy is a mobile program. Indoor and outdoor spaces must be set-up, cleaned up and broken down. We believe Godly connections and relationships develop when we serve one another. We partner. Jesus commanded us to love and serve one another. BHA is a unique community because parents, students and staff are obedient to Jesus' command to serve one another!
As part of enrollment, parents and students (5th grade and older), agree to serve in a variety of ways for a minimum of 5 hours per family per year. In order to keep the minimum hours as low as possible, on-campus and off-campus enrichment events/activities, such as potlucks, Seder meal, clothing swap, park days, etc., will be organized/managed by willing parent volunteers. Parents and students will help set-up, break down and clean up indoor (classrooms, sanctuary) and outdoor (courtyard, restrooms, playground) areas.
