About Charleston Academy

Charleston Academy partners with parents in a unique mentor-driven model of K-12th education

Students participate in engaging, dynamic classroom environments that teach core and elective classes through a biblical worldview. Instead of sitting
passively in a classroom environment for eight hours a day, students are actively involved in learning through the vehicles of family, church, school, and
community. Charleston Academy’s Socratic learning model helps students develop the academic curiosity they need to become a generation of lifelong
learners and culture shapers.

Why Homeschooling?

Across America today, 56 million students attend schools where God has been purposefully dissected from the foundations of learning. The youngest generations have been indoctrinated in an academic system that has produced the fruit of anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, drug abuse, youth homicide, STDs, and atheism.

Homeschooling is a system of family discipleship where parents take on the responsibility of educating their children at home through a variety of methods and systems. For most Christian families, this means providing a Bible-based education centered on both spiritual and academic formation.

Charleston Academy is built on a foundation that restores Christianity, the church, and the family to the center point of academia, reversing the trend of negative fruit in the youngest generations.

The student who is fully trained will become like the teacher.
