Spirit Ranch Academy

Greetings! With over 30 years of public school teaching experience across nearly all subjects and grade levels, I am excited to embark on a new journey. My wife, Kellie, has homeschooled our children through all subjects and levels three times, with a fourth underway. We firmly believe parents are the cornerstone of their child’s education. Drawing from our combined 20+ years of homeschooling expertise, we are dedicated to partnering with you to support your children’s learning. Our homeschool tutorial offers a variety of engaging weekly activities and personalized assistance, available any day, in any way you need, to help your children thrive academically and spiritually.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to cultivate a vibrant homeschool community where families grow in faith, children thrive in their love for learning, and the wonders of God’s creation are joyfully explored, equipping students to live purposefully for His glory.

Mission Statement

Rooted in faith, our mission is to glorify God by helping parents to provide a Christ-centered homeschool experience that inspires children to delight in learning and to flourish academically and personally, and ignites a lifelong passion for learning and discovering the awe-inspiring wonders of God's creation through engaging education and a nurturing community.​​​​

They will have opportunities to build and create using sticks, rocks, grass and vines, as well as structured arts and crafts.  Spending time with horses, chickens, ducks and rabbits brings joy to all children.  A structured lesson will help them reflect on God's creation and develop reading and writing skills.  Doing archery and slackline will increase their confidence and coordination.  And what kid does not enjoy a zipline or a trampoline!
