Helping Homeschooling families add that "Missing Piece".
A Little Bit About Us...
We are passionate about Homeschooling! We exist to support you in your efforts through 28 weekly class days that offer both Core and Enrichment Classes for grades 1-12. We believe childhood is a unique time in life and that education should be as well! We seek to apply Charlotte Mason's philosophy in our classes which will enhance any Homeschooling style.
Providing Homeschooling families support & community
that is not dependent on curriculum choice
A Little Overview:
​
At Red-Brick Academy we prioritize specific areas of study for the beauty that diversity of age and perspective brings. These are saved for our Morning Time & Group Time sessions.
​
For classes that need to be smaller, more focused and more challenging we divide our big group into Forms in the same way Charlotte Mason did. These classes create a special space for the kids to interact directly with Living Books, practice Narration in many varied forms, keep all sorts of journals and paperwork and have conversations about the big ideas they are discovering while they have the freshness of first inception.
​
We have a set rotation of subjects that families can anticipate and plan around. While they vary by form some of the topics include:
Artist and Composer Study, Poetry & Recitation, Memory work,
History, Science, Geography, Philosophy, Spelling, Logic, Speech and Communications, Grammar, Debate, Government, Economics, Full Credit HS English, Mathematics, High School Science labs and all sorts of structured movement opportunities including Swedish Drill.
Plus we host special sessions once a year for music, handcraft and
Art Experience.
​
On top of our usual rotation of subjects there are always fun extras happening, which might include: A Running Club, Natural History Club, Music Lessons, Sewing Lessons, Potlucks & Campouts,
and more!

Charlotte Mason's Philosophy of Education hinges on the idea that we are educating the whole person, not merely filling a mind. Facts are important, but stripped of their corresponding ideas, they are dry, unappealing & forgettable! Recognizing the personhood of children, we don't cull down their education to the bare minimum, but rather offer them a wide variety of all that is good and beautiful in Art and Culture, as well as a firm grounding in the Disciplinary Subjects. Using Living Books and Narrations, coupled with Short Lessons we help the child develop the Habit of Attention, thus becoming capable of Self-Education.

Red-Brick?
What is the deadline for the 2024- 2025 term?
Yes! Instead of having a single day "Open House" we host individual familes by appointment only. We would love to have you sit in on a day of classes and experience Red-Brick for yourself.
We are only able to accept a limited number of students per year. We open our waiting list each year on January 1st. Current families have first option on the available spaces until April 1. Final decisions are made by June 1.

Statement of Faith
Our statement of faith contains only the foundational beliefs of Christianity. For details about theology we direct students to the authority of their parents and their churches. We are, however, unapologetic in our belief in a just, moral & loving God and His place in History and our lives. Our families do not need to subscribe to our faith, however, they must support our mission & understand that the children will be taught a Christ-centered Worldview. For specifics, contact us.
