This is a Homeschool Co-op Ministry of FBC Tom Bean. While we love and support our local district, we also want to support parents who have taken up the difficult task of education in the home. The goal is to provide Enrichment courses that add to what you are already doing to train and disciple your kids.
Special note: This year is a "soft launch" so enrollment fees aren't mandatory, though are appreciated.

The Vision of Katartizo Academy
We believe that it is the God-given responsibility of parents to train their children, preparing them to launch out and stand for the glory of God. Our purpose in starting this homeschool cooperative is to help families EQUIP their children with the Bible.
Katartizo Academy seeks to be a place of instruction, an aid to the parents in helping them to obey Deuteronomy 6:7, a safe place for students to make like-minded friends, and to be a ministry to the parent-teacher. We understand that homeschooling can be challenging resulting in needing a respite for the parent-teacher. We want to be a blessing and a benefit to you and your family while you are training up your children.

Katartizo Academy Statement of Faith
Expectations

Expectations of Parents
Our expectations for the parents of the students is to be present during our meeting times, to support the other families as opportunities arise, to encourage the students, to be good examples of the faith, and to be willing to help within your skill sets.
We further expect the parent-teachers to utilize our welcome room when you need a moment to catch your breath, sit peacefully for a moment, or when you just need a good cup of coffee. The space is there to bless you. We do still expect you to be present with your student as much as possible, but we also understand the need to rest, even if only for a moment.
Expectations of Students
Mankind was created in the image of God and as such are commanded to glorify God in all that we do. We are told in Colossians 3:23-24 to “work as unto the Lord” which means that we are to honor God not just in what we do, but how we do it. That includes how we approach learning. A child’s job can be simplified, scripturally, to honor your father and your mother (Exodus 20:12) and grow in learning and understanding (Proverbs 22:6).
To help you work as unto the Lord in your education, we have certain expectations of you and while it is your parent’s role to train you and help you, you also have the responsibility accomplish the task. You must apply yourself to honoring your parents, to being trained, to doing the work, to abiding by the code of conduct. It is our expectation that you would do exactly that; that you would apply yourself to learning, to being respectful, to being prepared, and to honoring your parents.
