What is Hybrid Homeschool?

Hybrid homeschooling is a new form of education that combines the best aspects of traditional homeschooling and classroom education. It is a flexible and adaptable approach to education that allows pupils to study in accordance with their individual requirements and learning styles.

Benefits For Children

Learning Well students reap numerous benefits! They learn alongside peers in a small classroom setting in which they are seen, encouraged, and taught subjects at their skill level.

Small classroom sizes afford students greater attention from mentor teachers and more hands-on opportunities to solidify understanding of concepts in both skills-based (Math & Language Arts) and topic-based subjects (History, Science & Bible).

Benefits For

Families

Time! Families have the autonomy and flexibility to manage schedules that work for them. This creates space for additional learning opportunities in the home as well as the freedom to take advantage of other programs that suit each family and student.

Families are able to spend more precious moments together in whatever capacity they see fit. This may include family vacations or even simple moments at home, learning and playing together.

Additionally, parents who choose Learning Well benefit from community. They aren’t taking the homeschool journey alone. They are supported by other families as well as the founders who equip them throughout the year via ongoing communication and monthly equipping classes.

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Learning Well!

Learning Well was founded by two Christian women who together have 18+ years of homeschool experience. It was their vision to come alongside those desiring to take the step to homeschool and journey with them by equipping them with the necessary tips, tools & resources to make their journey one that is a beautiful experience for their whole family. Additionally, they desire to build a culture of community in which all families of Learning Well inspire, encourage and support each other.

Philosophy of Education:

Learning Well believes the purpose of education is the cultivation of virtue and wisdom by nourishing the soul on truth, goodness, and beauty according to God’s Revelation using the classical liberal arts. Its purpose is to train the soul to love that which is worth loving.

The aim of classical Christian education is high, but not unreasonable. Its primary function is the dissemination of Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom. The Book of Proverbs states, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). This biblical distinction in learning fits perfectly with the classical model of education. The grammar stage is the gaining of knowledge, the logic stage corresponds with understanding, and the rhetoric stage with wisdom. The classical method of education is indeed the best environment for students because the foundation of classical education is the Word of God. Therefore, any curriculum not founded upon “The Fear of the LORD” cannot lead to or develop biblical wisdom in students, but instead leads to the foolishness of denying God as the true source of all knowledge.

Teaching Philosophy:

The Learning Well teaching philosophy is classical in nature, utilizing the Trivium which takes into consideration the natural developmental stages of children with regard to learning. In doing so, mentor teachers fully acknowledge and embrace the unique stages of each student to reach them where they are academically yet challenges them to expand their capabilities and understanding.

Mentor teachers do this by modeling curiosity of concepts and ideas, integrating Christ in every subject, demonstrating how to ask good questions and how to reason well, and creating space to make mistakes and course correct to arrive at the truth, goodness and beauty of learning.

Vision Statement:

To equip, inspire, and empower families to educate their child(ren) in such a way that glorifies God through academics, character, and discipline.

Mission Statement:

The Learning Well mission is to mentor a generation toward authentic Biblical education rooted in truth, by journeying together.

Statement of Faith & Foundational Scripture:

We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant Word of God.

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God Himself, came to earth in the flesh, was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. He died a substitutionary and atoning death on the cross. He arose bodily from the grave and ascendedinto heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.

We believe man was created in God’s image and being descended from Adam inherited a sinful nature and is totally unable to save himself from the natural consequences of sin.

We believe men and women are saved and justified by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by accepting Him as Lord and Savior are born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.

Foundational Scripture: “Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.” Psalm 86:11

The Learning Well Niche:

We believe that many parents desire to homeschool yet refrain from doing so out of fear, lack of knowledge or understanding to teach well, and do not have the necessary support. Learning Well, IS that support! We take the homeschool journey with our families by providing support, ongoing communication, and tools that equip parents to fearlessly teach their children.. We have curated materials such as a Scope & Sequence for each subject, a Catechisms guide of memory work, and a Student Assignment Planner that outlines weekly assignments and offers accountability for both the parent and student.

What is a Homeschool Hybrid & Why Choose One?

A homeschool hybrid is the ideal blend of homeschool and traditional school. Families benefit from the freedom and autonomy of homeschooling, while participating in community by gathering together to receive instruction and guidance from mentor teachers.

Students meet for class 3 times a week in which a mentor teacher introduces concepts, models teaching, and encourages students. The parent is the primary teacher, building upon those concepts at home, while they receive support from the mentor teachers.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Community is Saying

“I've received a lot of questions about our homeschool journey and there is one thing that i s certain - I'd be LOSTTTT without Learning Well.

From Helping with placement tests, purchasing the right curriculum, identifying ways to strengthen certain skills, pushing kids in the challenging areas, and hold their hearts to the values and morals we share.”

The Bucks

Nicole Buck (parent of two children at learning well)

“The kids go to class Tu-Th 8-12 with other kids, and two mentor teacher who introduce new concepts. It has been great for them to have that community and allows me a pocket of time for working, if I need it. It also makes or learning at home that much easier, because it's not the first time they've heard it, and I wasn't left to my own devices."

Curriculum

Learning Well will provide each family with a comprehensive list of curriculum for the year. We make every attempt to choose a curriculum that reflects our Education Philosophy ensuring it is both Christian & classical. LW will also provide each family with a Scope & Sequence of each subject. At Orientation, families will be given a list of supplies needed for Community Day. Students will often bring their purchased textbooks with them to class. Be sure your student has a backpack to bring all supplies with him/her as we will not be storing an extensive amount of supplies on campus. Learning Well holds to the idea of “stick in the sand” meaning we firmly believe it takes very little to introduce concepts and teach. God has already given us much of what we need to learn.

Parent Equipping Partnership (PEP) classes

As part of the Learning Well mission to journey with our families, Parent Equipping Partnership Classes will be provided monthly. These serve to equip all families with tips, tools & resources to assist in a successful and beautiful homeschool journey.
