The purpose
of Hallstrom Home School Workshops is to provide high quality, academically challenging, spiritually uplifting classes to
supplement, support, encourage, but not to replace, what is being learned at home. We are not a school and do not intend
to be one. By workshop we mean “a brief, intensive educational program for a relatively small group of people
in a given field that emphasizes participation in problem solving efforts.”
Our workshops are a unique educational
experience in that we combine a high level of commitment from parents, students, and teachers. We are a ministry strongly
committed to all that is best and highest in home education, and intend only to aid and supplement what dedicated families
are already pursuing at home.
The spiritual objective of Hallstrom Home School Workshops is to provide an academic
environment which supports the Christian faith. HHSW instructors and board members must, therefore, understand the foundational
function of the HHSW Statement of Faith and be in agreement with the Statement of Faith or the Nicene Creed.
"Unless the Lord
builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
It
is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His beloved even
in his sleep.
Behold, children are a gift of the Lord;
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the
hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them;
They
shall not be ashamed,
When they speak with their enemies in the gate."
Psalm 127
