GOD'S PRINCIPLES

Teaching students how to seek what The Word of God says. How to pray for clarity, then apply true wisdom into every subject

The Bible first as curriculum. Then include excellent literature classics. Students learn to read God's Word for answers. Thinking critically has become a lost art.

What are The Ky Homeschool "requirements"?

https://education.ky.gov/federal/fed/Documents/Kentucky%20Homeschool%20Information%20Packet.pdf

Where are you located?

AIM ACADEMIC POD is an in-person homeschool pod affiliated with publicschoolexit.com . We are located on 4 acres in Utica, KY ( part of Daviess County, KY )

The school address is 11661 Jackson Road South. (17 miles from the old Town Square Mall)

About 35 minutes from my home in Ridgewood of Madisonville, Ky.

Is transportation available for Madisonville, KY students?

I currently transport 5 local students to AIM ACADEMIC POD. They need to be dropped off before we pull out at 7:45 a.m. at my home address in Ridgewood of Madisonville, Ky. We will then drive to school, and when the day is over, we will drive back. Parents can expect us to arrive at my home residence at around 4:15 p.m.

Will my child need to bring their lunch?

Yes.

What are your credentials?

I am a certified teacher. I left public schools in November 2021 for obvious reasons. I have over 24 years experience teaching with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Education from Murray State University, A Masters Degree in Special Education from Murray State University, and a Masters Degree in Christian Ministry from Liberty University.

What curriculum do you use?

As far as curriculum goes? I have closets full of curriculum, but none of them matter without ~ Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

AIM teaches the Bible as the primary textbook, where true wisdom is found, adding real-life application into every subject within a Homeschool environment. My goal in education is to focus on meaningful lessons with a Biblical basis that a student will use in the future.

AIM believes in The Principle Approach! The 4R's ( read, reason, relate, record) within any curriculum. The purpose being to apply The Bible to every subject taught. The Noah Plan is an all subject approach that follows PA and it will be used, along with Living Books, and some Project Based Learning. Because it depends on the child, AIM is not set on just one curriculum, AIM will pull from any of the mentioned curriculums that will match the child, including the best lessons and strategies from teaching over 24 years.

AIM Academy Pod's approach to curriculum is always based on God's standards. AIM believes curriculum is meaningless unless it is God centered first, then adapted to a student's interests and needs. AIM's approach is intending to lead students to be successful according to God's purpose, wherever that will take them.

AIM's approach is slow and steady wins the race. With the goal of assessing where a child is academically, then working to achieve their greatest strides, one step at a time.

AIM believes in hands-on learning , through trips, and project based lessons. In other words, a real-life application to curriculum is AIM's style of teaching. Click below if you would like to view some of the methods AIM incorporates

More on The Principle Approach and Charlotte Mason

The Principle Approach matches AIM's approach and philosophy. AIM believes without God their is no wisdom. You can be highly educated but without God it is useless. Since God created every child, seeking His purpose in life leads to success. The PA approach follows what AIM believes in~ Researching /Reading, Relating, Reasoning, and Recording as the basis of learning.

What does that look like?

1. Researching the subject origin back to the Bible, then reading the best literature/living books connected on this subject.

2. Reasoning by asking what does God teach & what does the world say? Then apply the cause and effect of each view.

3. Relating to what you are learning. Ask is their a moral, what is the overall theme? What is the truth? How do you know? 4. Recording the student's personal view to get them thinking about what they are learning in each subject. Next help them see how what they are learning can help them in life. https://face.net/
