Parents as Educators
In addition to addressing children as learners, ALC addresses parents as educators. Parent-educator workshops are scheduled at key times during the school year. These workshops address important philosophical issues (e.g. an integrated Christian view of education) and helpful practical matters (e.g. guiding your child through the writing process). Educational themes are also presented at the annual fall family retreat and through monthly community newsletters. Furthermore, an online video library of educational topics is being developed for our community website. Parents can access these topics as needed. |
"ALC has been a blessing to our family. When we transitioned to homeschooling in 2016, we were not a part of a homeschooling community, and we felt very isolated. When we joined ALC in 2017, we immediately felt supported by a community of like-minded believers and have built lasting friendships. ALC has provided an environment where our children are challenged academically in an environment of grace, always being pointed to truth and to Christ. ALC has been a blessing to each of our family members in unique ways, and it is a gift to be a part of this community."

"Joining the ALC community is a gift in several ways. It makes our schooling adventures fuller and richer. We accomplish things that would be difficult to do at home on our own. The teachers are kind and supportive, even as some of our kids face learning challenges. We also developed many dear friendships and find great support in other ALC families. We are blessed by knowing them and appreciate walking together on this homeschool journey."

"My family joined Aleithia Learning Community in 2013. The oldest of our 7 children was in 7th grade and we were looking for a Christ-centered program that would come along side of us to educate our children while still allowing them to spend most of their schooling hours at home. What we have found at ALC is a wonderful setting full of teachers and families that are foremost concerned about our children's hearts and then dedicated to giving them a high quality education. We have been greatly blessed by the community of believers and have appreciated the role the teachers fill as positive authority figures for our children."
