The Mission of PEP’s Founding
PEP exists to assist homeschooling families as they approach high school graduation. Rather than taking over the entirety of teaching, our program comes alongside parents to partner in providing a home-based, Christ-centered education that challenges the mind, shapes character, and equips students to live with wisdom, virtue, and purpose.
Our vision for PEP’s Future
To raise up a generation of free and faithful thinkers. By pouring wisdom into our students, we will inspire and send forth young men and women who reason biblically, discern Truth, and communicate it with courage and grace. This will transform homes, communities, and our culture for the glory of God.
Values
Freedom
We embrace the biblical principles of freedom that are endowed by our Creator and believe it is a Christian duty to preserve them.Discipleship Model of Education
We believe the home is the primary place of study and learning and a child’s primary teachers are his parents; the Church is called to support this effort.Biblical Worldview
We impart a biblical worldview and encourage setting the principles of God in action.Cultural Mandate
We recognize the role of the gospel in redeeming and restoring every part of the world and society.Loving Communication
We foster straightforward and loving ways of dealing with one another between everyone in our ministry. If we have not love, we are nothing.Classical Education
We value the principles of Classical Education and the connection of academic disciplines.
Providence Extension Program shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin in connection with any of the rights, privileges, policies, programs and activities generally accorded, made available or administered.
philosophy of education
We believe it is the responsibility of parents to train the minds of their own children. However, parents often join with others to provide the best possible educational experiences for their children. Providence Extension Program desires to work with parents for the benefit of the individual child and family.
We believe that God grants wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to those who ask Him and acknowledge His preeminence in every arena of life. We teach from the perspective that there is objective Truth which can be discovered and is founded on the principles taught in the Bible.
Since we believe that the classical approach to education best enables students to think critically and accurately, we embrace the concepts of teaching grammar, logic, and rhetoric throughout our curriculum and methods.
