History of Home Schooling

March 28, 2019

Today our small church celebrates its 54thanniversary. Last week I discussed some of the history of my father’s work in education. I want to continue to discuss some of this history today.


In the 1960’s and 70’s there were families who were home schooling, but it was certainly not as common as it is today.


Christian schools were growing, but not all families either because of geography or finances could send their children to a Christian school.


So there was a need for Christian education that needed to be met.


My dad and others in our church sought to meet this need.


Four keys to home education


1. Parents have the responsibility and authority


2. Need books and materials


3. Parents must embrace the challenge


4. Students must also be willing to embrace the challenge


What we enjoy today over 50 years later in terms of the freedom and incredible choices available in home schooling are truly a great blessing from the Lord.


For Christian Liberty Academy School System, I am Pastor Calvin Lindstrom. See you next Thursday, Lord willing, at 8:30 a.m. Central Time.
