When, out of sheer necessity, Patty Huey started a private Christian homeschool program for her son but included other students and their families, she envisioned offering the advantages of a one-room schoolhouse model. Those advantages include an environment where:
Typical students model learning to struggling students.
Each student's abilities are highlighted.
All students are included in academics and extracurricular events.
No student is invisible.
Through a series of insightful and poignant vignettes, the author shares her personal journey and the valuable lessons she learned as Hill Creek Christian progressed into the 21st-century using the one-room schoolhouse model. The essence of this model, which continues to thrive, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the homeschooling community.
This book is not just a memoir but a testament to the power of faith and the calling to homeschool. It aims to inspire parents and students who feel nudged to homeschool to obey the calling. Woven throughout the history of building the foundation for Hill Creek is the spiritual truth that when God calls us, He will see us through to completion.
HCC, a supplemental program for homeschoolers offering academic classes, continues to touch the lives of students and parents who flow within their community and beyond like ripples on a pond.
