Mighty Roots Academy

Our Goal

The primary goal of Mighty Roots Academy’s approach is to train students to be curious about the world around them which leads to a constant and lifelong learning mindset as students learn how to learn. Academic success is a natural by-product of this approach.

Our Mission & philosophy

Mighty Roots Academy aims to...

Emphasize that "less is better"

meaning that the student is better off listening to and reading books, exploring nature, and learning about the world around them than grinding through workbooks that really don’t teach as much as they might seem.  

Emphasize depth over scope of content

so that courses really aim for mastery of key skills, which takes time and focused attention. In developing these skills, students will learn how to learn, and thereby will be motivated, competent, independent, lifelong learners.  

Engage and challenge

students by making the courses lively, inspiring, and centered around students’ individual interest and learning needs.  

Allow families with multiple children

the opportunity to provide quality, age-appropriate instruction for both older and younger children at the same time.

Support families

in their desire to homeschool by providing a variety of courses and programs.  

Encourage parents

to learn alongside their children through extension activities at home which are provided by learning guides. 

Support parents

by sharing in the education of their children, so that through time apart parents can be refreshed and therefore better educators of their children when together.   

Model, and when necessary, guide

students in principles such as humility, graciousness, and concern for others.  

Welcome!
