Who We Are
Anchor is shaped by Christian faith, expressed through kindness, and committed to excellence. Our culture is the soil where learning and relationships grow.
Anchor is a Christian homeschool co-op. This is not just a descriptor. It is the foundation that shapes everything we do, from how we select curriculum to how we handle conflict.
We believe that education is a spiritual endeavor. We teach children to wonder at creation, to pursue truth, and to grow in wisdom and virtue. Our faith informs our pedagogy and our relationships.
"We do not simply add Bible verses to secular education. We seek to integrate faith and learning in every subject, every conversation, and every interaction."
Families do not need to sign a statement of faith to join Anchor. We do ask that you understand and respect our Christian foundation. We welcome families from various backgrounds who want their children learning in a community that honors God.
Our leadership team and teachers affirm this statement of faith. We believe it is important for those leading and teaching at Anchor to be in agreement on these core doctrines.
Families joining Anchor are not required to affirm every point, but should be comfortable with their children learning in an environment where these beliefs are taught and practiced.
These values shape how we operate and how we treat one another
We do not confuse excellence with perfection. We mean doing what we do with care, preparation, and integrity. Teachers prepare. Students try. Parents support. We grow together.
We prioritize relationships over being right. We speak gently, listen well, and assume the best about one another. Conflict happens, but we handle it with grace and direct communication.
We are all learning. Teachers, parents, and students alike. We admit mistakes, receive feedback, and remain open to growth. No one has arrived.
We show up prepared and on time. We clean up after ourselves. We follow through on commitments. Shared responsibility makes community possible.
We cultivate curiosity and delight in learning. We point students to the beauty and order of creation. Education is not just about information, but about formation and awe.
Parents are the primary educators. We come alongside to support, not replace. Communication flows both ways. We are in this together.
Practical expectations for our community
How our values show up on Tuesdays
We begin each Tuesday with optional prayer time for parents and teachers. We bring requests, celebrate answers, and ask for wisdom together.
We model and teach communication that builds up. No gossip. No harsh words. We address concerns directly and kindly, seeking reconciliation when needed.
Older students help younger ones. Experienced homeschoolers guide newcomers. We believe in the power of relationships across age and experience.
You do not need to be Christian to find a place at Anchor. We have families from various faith backgrounds and church traditions. What we share is a commitment to kindness, excellence, and supporting one another in the homeschooling journey.
If you are curious about our faith but not sure where you stand, you are welcome here. We will not pressure you to believe, but we will not hide what we believe either. Our hope is that Anchor is a place where you can ask questions, build friendships, and find support.
