Why it Matters For Your Family
Many parents wish to homeschool. However, sometimes they struggle with the time commitment or don’t feel they have the ability or they also want their kids to be in a positive influential peer environment outside the home. Perhaps this is you.
Some families have homeschooled successfully for many years, or just a few. Yet, they would like help with the work load or need to balance other responsibilities with the desire to maintain the primary educator role for their children. They want to know they can trust teachers and tutors to uphold this balance and affirm and support their role as parents. And they understand how students will become like teachers, for good or bad. So it must be good. Perhaps this is you.
This is where we can help. As a Homeschool Hybrid, we place families and parents in primary position for setting the tone and structure for education. We wish to partner with you to help you start your children off in the way they should go.

Behind the Name
Ordo Amoris is Latin for “Rightly Ordered Loves.” It first comes from St. Augustine when he wrote in the 5th century that the “order of love” (ordo amoris) is the “brief and true definition of virtue.” (The City of God- St. Augustine of Hippo).
It means this: our greatest job in raising our children is to teach them HOW to order their loves to align with what God loves. It also recognizes that education is really the business of shaping affections. |
The Omega & Alpha
The Omega and Alpha in the top left of the shield are the last and first letters of the Greek Alphabet and the initial letters for Ordo Amoris. They speak to our vision: To achieve the right end for your children, you must start with the right beginning.
|
The Sword, The Staff & The Cap
The bottom section of the shield shows a Phrygian cap on a Liberty Pole, which is a historical symbol of freedom, behind a sword, a portrayal of sacrifice. This symbol is the heart of why we train our children in the Classical Christian model; to understand where true freedom and the meaning of sacrifice can be found.
"For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it." Luke 9:24 |

“The most important fact about the subject of education is that there is no such thing. Education is not a subject, and it does not deal in subjects. It is instead the transfer of a way of life.” -G.K. Chesterton
