Email Groups Sponsored by School of Abraham

We are dedicated to the greatest and most eternal pursuit of all: raising our children, a covenant generation, to develop their minds and talents in righteousness and faith.

The School of Abraham exists to encourage individual scholarship through an innovative study program which fosters spiritual and moral development in an environment of academic rigor, and also to help parents more effectively teach their children the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The School of Abraham is designed to be flexible, in order to meet the varied needs of the homeschooling family. Each family chooses their preferred curriculum resources and methods of academic homeschooling. We have developed an innovative study program which recognizes progression by age, rather than by grade, based on spiritual and moral development. Your children can move ahead quickly or spend extra time, as desired. Individual goal setting is emphasized and recognized.

At the School of Abraham, we take as integral to our mission statement the word of the Lord as recorded in the book of Isaiah: "... And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children". (Isaiah 54:13)

Our motto is "Accountability, Exactness, and Honor."

The School of Abraham supports the family by providing unique educational resources for religious education, centered upon the School of Abraham Educational Model, including our Guided Reading Program for Great Books and other world classics, recommended resources for history, biography and other curricula, studies of the teachings of the prophets, in-depth study of the scriptures and commentaries, gospel art and music resources, and programs which help strengthen family life and provide character education.

The School of Abraham has been founded that our children may be instructed more perfectly in all things that pertain unto the Kingdom of God. We teach theory, principle, doctrine, and the law of the gospel, that our children may be prepared in all things when the Lord shall send them again to magnify the calling whereunto he has called them, and the mission with which he has commissioned them. (adapted from D&C 88:78, 80)

Are you homeschooling a gifted child? Join us for companionship along the way. Gifted-LDS-hs is a support group for LDS parents who are homeschooling gifted children. This list will be devoted topically to giftedness and gifted issues. Discussion regarding LDS/homeschooling aspects of our lives is always welcome.

We hope that you will feel free to discuss any and all gifted-related topics. Also, you can feel free to talk about your kids without anyone thinking you're bragging or simply being a proud parent. We know better.

Tell a friend about Gifted-LDS-hs! Then come and share your day with us.
