Five Points Academy

This year we decided to name our home school. I know in a lot of states each family is asked to do this for reporting purposes. But, here in Alabama that is not a requirement. Actually we home school under a cover school so technically you operate under that school name. It was after picking our theme verse and sharing it on facebook that a friend shared the idea for our school name. I thought that it would be super fun to name our school. You know so when people ask where we go to school we can have a quick answer.

This is the verse we picked to be our theme or the year....
1 Timothy 4:12
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
The verse covers 5 points that we should exhibit to be a good example: speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. So that is how we became "Five Points Academy". Our goal is to cover each of the points this year and with any luck "master" those so we can be a good example to the world.

I think we are going to make a couple different posters for our school room with our school name and each of the points on it. The kids love the idea of having a school name and even suggested we get some t-shirts made (or have mom who sews whip us up some ;) ). Since I love when family can keep up with what we have going on in the classroom and around our home I even created a instagram hashtag #fivepointsacademyhomeschool.

I really can't wait to see what all we discover this year at "Five Points Academy". One thing is for sure. It will never be short on excitement, learning and fun. Praying blessings on not only our school year but on all students both home school and other wise as they embark on this year.
