About Us!
Mission Statement
The mission of The Orchard is to serve as a classically minded Christian educational cooperative (co-op). Educational experiences are designed to support homeschool families.
Vision Statement
The vision of The Orchard is to fulfill our mission through:
-
Offering meaningful co-op classes that support students as they move through the developmental stages of the trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
-
Opportunities for student demonstration, performance, and creative expression.
-
Fostering connection through scripture reading, fellowship, and mentorship.
-
Regular field trips.
-
Times of celebration such as Thanksgiving and End of Year Celebration.
Statement of Faith
The Orchard presents all curricula from a Christian world view, believing and teaching that Christ is the center of our lives and the Bible is the absolute authority.
-
We believe in the authority of scripture. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.
-
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
We believe the fullness of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers.
-
We believe that man was created in God's image, male and female, is born a sinner by nature because of the fall of Adam, and must be born again by the Spirit of God to be saved.
-
We believe that salvation is a gift of God and is received by man through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin.
-
We believe we are members of one body in Christ, and we should bear with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit.
-
We believe that marriage is the union of one man with one woman as defined in the scriptures.
