What is Growing in Grace?

At A Glance

Growing in Grace is a hybrid homeschool Academy. We meet Tuesdays-Thursdays. 9:30am-2:30pm Where you have a teacher teaching a full curriculum in a small, nurturing classroom setting. On the days at home, parents simply help guide the independent work that will be provided by the teacher n order for parents not have to teach but mainly guide their student.

Important information:

Growing in Grace Academy is a Christian homeschool hybrid and cooperative program located in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. We are not a licensed private or public school, and enrollment in our program does not satisfy Pennsylvania’s compulsory education requirements by itself.

All families participating in our program remain legally responsible for supervising their child’s education and complying with Pennsylvania’s homeschool law (24 P.S. §13-1327.1). Parents must file the appropriate home education affidavit, objectives, and evaluation with their school district to meet state requirements.

Our role is to provide enrichment, academic support, community connection, and faith-based learning opportunities as part of a cooperative homeschool experience. We do not issue transcripts, diplomas, or maintain permanent student records.

By using this website and/or enrolling in Growing in Grace Academy, families acknowledge and accept that they retain full responsibility for their child’s education, recordkeeping, and compliance with all applicable laws.

Questions

What makes us different?

Growing in Grace Academy is different from a typical co-op. Instead of parents rotating to teach, the teacher leads instruction in core subjects—Bible, ELA/reading, math, science, history, art, music, and life skills—and then sends home meaningful follow-up work.

Our approach is:

• Christ-centered – daily devotions, prayer, and a Biblical worldview woven into every subject.

• Charlotte Mason–inspired – hands-on learning, journaling, and creative exploration.

• Family-supportive – a rhythm that balances structured classroom learning with flexible time at home.

The mission is summed up in our guided phrase:

“Nurturing young minds in Christ, where joy and learning blossom.”
