St. Clement Homeschool program (Children’s Homeschool Opportunities in Christian Education) is a ministry of St Mina Coptic Orthodox Church, a Category II Non-Public Academy, located at 476 McMurray Dr, Nashville, Tennessee 37211.  Our mission is to honor Christ as we provide information, curriculum, various services, and advice to new or veteran homeschooling parents. We want to help any student who desires an education

Our philosophy concerning home education is as follows:  

  1. God has ordained parents to educate their children. Therefore, parents are responsible to
    God for the spiritual & academic education of their children (Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6:4)
  2. Each child is an individual with different learning styles and capabilities. All children are capable of learning. We must try to bring each child to his/her fullest potential.
  3. We believe all families should have the opportunity to teach their children Christian values while also providing a quality education.
  4. Students should be allowed to progress at a speed that matches their ability, not restricted by rigid schedules
