Our Vision
Coaches is a relaxed, informal group of independent families who gather for the purpose of encouraging and inspiring each other spiritually, physically, and emotionally through the process of educating our children at home. COACHES actively promotes the idea of education being different from the concept of compulsory schooling. COACHES is an assembly whose actions withing the group and within the community are honorable.
Our Educational Philosophy
COACHES is a community of families who meet to encourage one another in the endeavor of training and educating their children at home. We believe that parents who have chosen this alternative should be accountable to carry out this work in a responsible and honorable manner, striving for excellence. We believe that parents are solely responsible for this education and training and that although they may opt to delegate this responsibility to some extent, the ultimate responsibility lies with the parent.
