Renaming of this blog....Academic Angels

Previously this blog was named Access College Programs.  As a high school college advisor I began creating this blog so parents and students could find information, needed for college.  My life has taken several turns from college advisor, teacher, tutor, to social worker which brings me to where I am today, a mother of two beautiful young ladies, grandmother and an active member of my church who is embarking on a new journey of homeschooling my granddaughter, whom you'll get to meet on our YouTube channel.

I am renaming this blog Academic Angels as I start a new chapter in my life, as a homeschool teacher of a beautiful, smart 6 year old who calls me nana.  I am blessed to be able to homeschool my granddaughter this year who is entering first grade and we are truly looking at this opportunity as a blessing.  I am reminded of a well quoted scripture that says, "And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Our local school system has decided along with many around the world not to reopen school for classes this Fall of 2020.  Instead of fretting about the state of our country or the impact it is having, we are setting out to embark upon homeschooling from the comfort of our home.  In spite of the coronavirus the education of our children must continue!  Many parents are left in a state of unknown, while others are heading back to school with their children.  Many parents do not know where to start to find curriculum or resources to teach their children and many feel overwhelmed by the public schools stacks of packets being provided.  

Homeschooling comes with many curriculum choices, homeschool groups, online education, and many more choices.  Let me just say that homeschooling your child or children does not have to be  expensive nor are groups necessary especially with social distancing in effect around the country.  

This is a perfect opportunity before us and  I am truly grateful for this opportunity.  We are embarking on an educational journey utilizing a Christian based curriculum called PACES, Song School, and several others for our science and social studies units.  My granddaughter will be learning spanish, latin, conducting hands on science experiments, learning coding, and more for first grade.  We'd like you to share in our journey through this blog as well as on our youtube channel  Academic Angels   

Why start a blog when there are so many already out there?  Academic Angels is not just another blog but a place where you can follow a family who is transitioning from the public school sector to homeschool using a Christian based curriculum and the classical educational model.  

Academic Angels is a resource for parents and students during COVID offering tips, resources, tutoring (online), and more.  Come join us and share this blog with your family, friends, and loved ones who may need a little guidance and encouragement during these difficult times!  God bless you!
