The most common question I get from neighbors, family, and friends is, "How is the school going?" I'm always truly grateful- and a little shocked- that I can say things are well. It's not to say things are always easy, but it is a privilege to do this work of proclaiming the excellencies of Christ to a young generation and have conversations with thankful parents as they see their kid's lives changed and positively effected so quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/1623105d-76af-492a-8edb-e25741c6b9f8/AKR_0022.jpg Newsletter - An Invitation to Beauty No one spoke of beauty better than C.S. Lewis. When David (my husband) and I first started talking about opening a school, we talked a lot about worship and beauty. So many of the schools I taught in were dirty, hopeless, blank, and ugly. The children in those schools were just as uninspired as the dingy, white walls. I told David I wanted something more beautiful and more hopeful for the students of Shreveport. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/b6c5b3e0-1a31-48ca-a349-eb893074131a/Untitled+design-3.png Newsletter - Opening in Less Than 2 Months | 6.16.22 In the 1830's when George Muller set out to open his schools and orphan houses, he did so with two goals: 1. To meet at clear need in Bristol, England. 2. To show the world that God answers prayer. George knew he was taking on a huge task. He knew he didn't have the means to provide schooling and housing for children, but he stepped out in service, praying with every step that God would lead the way and provide for his every need. Like George Muller, the staff at Mercy Christian is attempting a task way beyond our means. But, with God and through his Holy Spirit moving in the hearts of individuals, this grand task can be done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/a51d24c2-0940-4142-94f9-15088cd3a733/IMG_3276.jpg Newsletter - Worshipful | 5.21.22 Our mission at Mercy Christian is to "bear witness to the mercies of Christ by providing a high-quality, Christian education to Shreveport families, regardless of income."

This verse tells us that God is a refuge for our bodies, souls, and emotions.

The math we have chosen for our school is called Right Start Math by Joan Cotter. Dr. Cotter has many of years of experience in Montessori math, and in later years she took the Montessorian methods she liked and expanded upon them, making some concepts better- in my opinion. Math is hands-on and FUN. Judah and I enjoy lessons every afternoon. This math teaches the "Why?" so many kids need to know… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/141a25ec-9ec3-4b12-a409-b7fc7f17629f/d9aec18e-322f-cb31-92cf-7c640059d5f7.jpg Newsletter - Charlotte Mason Educational Retreat | 8.21.21 During the last week of July, I attended an educational retreat focusing on the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason.

"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb..." - Revelation 7:9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/43bc8e44-e48b-470b-a6f0-99fd5eff3eef/20251211_093745.jpg Vision - Restful in the pace of our education As humans we are prone to hear truth and forget it. We see beauty and don’t ponder. We don’t pause. We don't wait. We don’t meditate. In the end, we don't think. At Mercy Christian, we will teach from a robust liberal arts curriculum. With great books and ideas comes the need to slow down. As educators we will strive not to rush students from one project to the next, but to develop a deeper, slower pace of learning. "Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind." - Ecclesiastes 4:6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/0722c0a3-acde-4a52-98a0-ab7ed2d2cadc/0165.jpg Vision - Original in our emphasis on individual development We want to move students toward original work by giving them room to work independently and time to think and discuss their work with others. A child can use this freedom to write and recite their own poem, read on a topic of interest, or build a 3D puzzle. Students will take some measure of responsibility for their own learning and develop their own unique interests and abilities. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/3be53ab5-3a4e-4827-bed4-81491fc8e4f2/IMG_5199.jpg Vision - Worshipful in our devotion to the one true God God has created human beings for worship, namely the worship of himself. As free beings, we either worship our Creator or something else. To live for him is to function as we are designed. As a school, we believe there is no greater purpose than to train a child in the knowledge and grace of God. As children see, hear, and savor their Creator and Redeemer, they will learn how to worship him in all of life. When this happens, they will flourish as human beings. "All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace." - Isaiah 54:13e. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088ba993209d4330f2fbaf1/04684e63-ffeb-4de6-9bfd-21814ce34a55/20250401_131555.jpg Vision - Natural in our tending to God’s created order Children learn best when they are outside. God has richly provided nature as a means to help ease anxious and overwhelmed children, and as a school we want to utilize this gift as much as possible. By having extensive recess time, we want to help students hit a "reset button" so their minds can relax and be ready again to learn. Nature also has much to teach us. We want children to study leaves, birds, and animals, and learn from the wisdom of their Creator. "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
