Distinctly Collaborative

“…bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

(Eph. 6:4)

The best of both worlds.

At Gloria Deo Academy, we believe the family should be the number one influence in a child’s life and that parents carry the primary responsibility for the spiritual nourishing of their children. In keeping with these principles of in loco parentis, Latin for “in the place of a parent,” our model combines professional classroom instruction with homeschooling to provide the best of both worlds.

Shared learning experiences

Highly-qualified and dedicated teachers provide all biblically-integrated core academic instruction on class days. On subsequent home days, parents serve as co-teachers by reinforcing concepts learned at school. In addition, parents enjoy the gift of time and an increased opportunity to serve as the primary influence in their children’s lives. Siblings also have more time together, which builds family unity through shared learning experiences. This hybrid university schedule offers a family-friendly schedule to develop a student’s love for home and for learning for a lifetime.

Schedule

Our schedule is as follows. We have two different Grammar School schedules, with some students attending classes on Monday and Wednesday and others attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Grammar School: PreK – 6th Grades Monday/Wednesday Class Day Home Day Class Day Home Day Optional Elective Day
Grammar School: PreK – 6th Grades Tuesday/Thursday Home Day Class Day Home Day Class Day Optional Elective Day
Logic School: 7th – 8th Grades Monday/Tuesday Thursday Class Day Class Day Home Day Class Day Optional Elective Day
Rhetoric School: 9th – 12th Grades Monday/Tuesday Wednesday/Thursday Class Day Class Day Class Day Class Day Optional Elective Day

Our university schedule allows us to provide the best classical learning experience and strengthen our campus community while preserving the role of the family. This collaborative approach emphasizes parents’ role in the discipleship and character formation of their children. What parents begin in the home receives continual reinforcement and support during a student’s time at school.
