A grateful mother of 2 wonderful individuals; a man, aged 24 years and a high spirited, curious, 6 year old boy. I am a lifetime student having earned degrees from several accredited NY State Institutions such as Syracuse University and State University of New York @ StonyBrook. Forever a student first, I am an educator at heart, and have longed for decades to put into place a micro-school that treats each child as an individual with a localized purpose. Since my big son was small I have pined to be the teacher that allows these children FREEDOM from a system that does not serve them or their families. As a longtime entrepreneur who believes deeply in the power of small, intentional communities, I listened to God as He spoke to me about West Texas. Originally from New York, our journey brought us here with one clear goal: to create a better, more balanced life for my child while building something meaningful for others.
Epitome Education is a thoughtfully designed micro-school focused on small class sizes, meaningful relationships, and individualized learning experiences. Here at Epitome Home Education, we strive to make the most enriching and thoughtful educational experience for both parents and children. We are very small so every child is treated with the utmost dignity and allowed as much nurturing and attention that he or she needs to ensure their success. As a mother, I want to provide the very best for my child and I have not been able to find that standard of care, which is exactly why I founded this school. Here, mothers will have the support and resources they need to provide their child with a fulfilling education and the peace of mind that their child’s wellbeing is the utmost priority. I will care for the children who attend this school as if they were my own without exception. Every bump will be nurtured, every meal will be home cooked, every lesson enriching, fulfilling and kind. It is the comfort of home with the structure of school. The information set forth in this handbook is just to allow for clarity and alignment concerning the children we both care so much about.
Community, connection, and collaboration are central to Epitome. Our vision is to provide the homeschool community with a bridge to connect with one another. In a world where nothing seems trustworthy and everything points to expoloitation, Epitome Edcation provides a haven for families that want to make their own decisions concerning the lives they are rearing. Here at Epitome parents have the FREEDOM to raise their children according to their own values and practices, our task is simple...to support our parents any way you need us while maintaining the core values that gave us our name Enrichment Purpose Inspiration Thought Originality Mastery Education.
