A: |
Under the Son is a Christ-centered home school support group ministering to families in Anytown. We are here to encourage you on this journey of homeschooling through many facets. Some of the variety of family activities that you can take part in are as follows but not limited to.
Under the Son Purpose Under the Son desires to see parents rediscover their God-given role to educate their children ---"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." (Deuteronomy 6:7) Our vision would be that through the practical application of God's word and prayer we would heed His instruction in loving, educating, and equipping our children to the fullest extent of their ability --- "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style." (Psalm 144:12) Under the Son believes that God has given to parents the primary responsibility to raise and educate their children. Since He has given His people all things pertaining to life and godliness, they need not feel inadequate or fear failure in the area of educating their children. Therefore, we seeks to encourage and assist the parent in this calling through the variety of ways that its individual members enable the group. We are able to rest in knowing that in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us and that includes the education of our children. We must stand firm in knowing that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. In acknowledgment of the fact that God is in complete control, we must, therefore, cast aside any form of pride and in sincere humility live out the convictions we have to home educate our children. We must never become self-righteous as to condemn those who have chosen to do otherwise (Philippians 2:1-4). Under the Son VISION We desires to see parents rediscover their God-given role to educate their children ---"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." (Deuteronomy 6:7) Our vision would be that through the practical application of God's word and prayer we would heed His instruction in loving, educating, and equipping our children to the fullest extent of their ability --- "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style."

What is Under the Son co-op |
A: |
Under the Son Co-op is a cooperative learning opportunity for children Pre-K through 12th grade which meets every Thursday from September - May with various weeks off. The mission of TLC Co-op is to support and assist parents in the training of their children by providing classes to supplement and enrich their education in a class environment. Because this is a cooperative effort, there will be a pooling of our resources and skills. Everyone must contribute so that this co-op can be a success. One parent must be present every hour that their children are attending classes.
This is a ministry cooperative by families to families. Prices of classes are determined by the costs of supplies alone. Teachers will be giving of their time. We count on the active involvement of every family member to make co-op day a success! Our role is to encourage the parent, through support, assistance, co-op classes and relationship building. We do not function as a school. We do not choose what parents teach. Some parents will teach using a curriculum and some will create classes using many different sources. Please Note: Although we offer pre-school classes, all Co-op families must have at least one school age child participating in the classes who must be at least five years old by September 30th.
