FAQ
We know you have some great questions. We have addressed the common ones below.
What is your curriculum?
Please see the GA or CA Classes pages to have a solid look.
Can families join just 1 day a week, or just for certain classes?
It depends on the class, leaders’ abilities, campus allowances, and campus schedule.
Can families join mid-year?
This is an option that will be evaluated on a case by case basis if there is room in the Equip 2:22 Homeschool Hive.
How do I know the adults on campus are safe?
All adults on campus will be background checked and provide the appropriate character references requested.
How are home educators supported in Equip 2:22?
As your children age, the demand on your own learning increases as well. Equip 2:22 will help point you to the right training to help you. While you remain in the driver’s seat, we are here to help you avoid the pitfalls many parents have slipped into.
How is your Homeschool Hive different from all the others?
We make a distinction when we call ourselves a “Homeschool Hive” rather than a co-operative.
We are Holy Spirit-led. Our goals and operations differ from a typical school in this regard. If God asks for the whole day, we give it to Him.
We are also spiritually covered by a Christian non-profit, Revival Valley. We work together with them to ensure our teachings are biblically sound, have prayer and spiritual support, legal covering, mentorship, and we also are able to fund-raise.
We have direct mentorship from the Foundation for American Christian Education as well.
There is a major training component to what we do here. We are equipping parents as well.
We believe in having a village to walk through life with. We want to have fun together, adventure together, pray together and lift each other up when we are down. Many families do not have a support system. This can change here.
Why would I join this group over the many more established ones that are successful in turning out faithful and well educated students, ready to advance into higher education?
God has asked us to raise the future Daniels of this generation. They need the Holy Spirit to be able to stand in the fiery culture of today with no compromise. Because of this mandate, we make sure to put Him first in the education of our children. He is also the center of all other subjects we teach. He is our priority. Thankfully prioritizing God does not have to come with sacrificing education, we believe solid education also gives glory to God, strengthens His kingdom, and develops the whole individual and family unit simultaneously.
Aside from that, you will probably get a fairly certain sense that Equip 2:22 is the right match for your family. People are all different. Some people make decisions with definitive choice and confidence. Other people will get about 80% sure, however, a feeling of peace fills the rest of the space for their assurance.
How does this Homeschool Hive develop the heart of Jesus in considering others needs before our own and serving with joy and grace as a part of the core of Christian living?
We start each day with devotions to teach about God and the relationship He has with each child, we use each other as iron sharpens iron, and our families are like-minded and as such we hope to provide many adult examples throughout our community.
We know the voice of God is like rushing waters (Psalm 29:3, Ezekiel 43:2, Revelation 1:15), and the Bible says we can recognize His voice, and then follow Him (John 10). But like Samuel, we need to be trained to recogize Him (1 Samuel).
From knowing Him, we will bear the fruits of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). With loving discipleship and training, and planting the seed of the Word in them, we will watch God water the seeds to produce the fruit.
The gifts of the Spirit are freely given according to God’s will, and vary among each person. While we cannot teach our children how to receive them, we can teach them to desire receiving them. Once received, we can train them on how to use them. (See Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4).
We intentially create opportunities for the students to serve others though the year, and look for their spiritual growth (not in numbers) but in fruits of the spirit (faith, joy, peace, etc.) and expressions of love (kindness, goodness, faithfulness, etc).
