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.
5. Home education is a viable St. Clement to achieve the best education possible for a child.
