EQUIP Mission Statement
To provide excellent academics from a Biblical Worldview to homeschool families wherever they are located.
What is EQUIP Education?
EQUIP Education is a homeschool program that has served the homeschool community since 2009 as a non-profit, 501(c)3 ministry, providing quality academic courses to homeschoolers. All classes are taught from a Biblical worldview with excellence, integrity, and compassion for each student’s individual needs. We seek to support families that want to homeschool but may not be able to cover all the course work, grading or record keeping.
What is EQUIP’s Online program like?
EQUIP online classes are like a live classroom! Students attend classes live and can interact with their instructor and classmates. Each class is held once per week and students receive structured and manageable homework assignments to complete throughout the week. Students have access to their instructors throughout the week for additional support as needed. We offer two enrollment options so parents can decide what level of work and or attendance their students require. (See enrollment options)
Benefits of a Live Online Classroom.
Instructors and classmates are visible and students have immediate access for assistance both during class and throughout the week
Your student can speak directly with the instructor or other students for added social engagement and genuine interactions.
Students get immediate feedback in the classroom on their answers to help keep them on track.
A structured schedule that is no pre-recorded keeps students accountable and moving through the curriculum to completion to keep them from falling behind.
Supports parents homeschool by adding structure, accountability and feedback to their homeschool program.
Relationships are built as students engage in real time with each other and work through the material within a safe environment.
Students at EQUIP have built lifelong friendships over the years.
What Makes EQUIP Unique from other homeschool programs out there?
EQUIP is live, not pre-recorded and impersonal! (See above section)
All EQUIP instructors are federally and locally background checked and complete an intensive certified training course specifically for instructors in academic settings and adhere to our statement of faith.
EQUIP Instructors are from homeschool families or have worked closely with homeschool families throughout their teaching career. This means they understand the unique dynamic of homeschooling.
EQUIP considers the parents the capital “T” teacher in their student’s life. We serve as the lower case “t” teacher providing instruction and additional support to help the parents. This means we realize the parent has the ultimate authority and can excuse absences and some homework without penalty.
EQUIP is flexible. If you are traveling or your child is ill they can still attend classes if they choose.
EQUIP allows for parents to select the course load best for their student through our enrollment options.
EQUIP students have access to their graded work for review and report cards to help create transcripts upon graduation.
EQUIP offers end of year evaluations and/or testing to meet your homeschool legal requirements if desired.
EQUIP parents have access to other parents in their students' grade level if desired through parent only class chats. (Optional)
EQUIP seeks to do more than load your student with information. Our goal is to teach them to think critically, logically and objectively.
EQUIP instructors provide references and letters of recommendation for job applications, college, and programs for students if warranted.
