About Us – GAO
Made For Community

About GAO

Great American Outpost is a homeschool program with a boots-on-the-ground perspective. A one-or two-day a week program where we come alongside you, the teacher, to help guide your children in unrevised history, to have Socratic discussions in literature of the big ideas that formed Western civilization, to encourage engagement in civics, to understand free market economics, to be grounded in a biblical worldview of ethics, politics, science, the cultural issues of today, and more.

Love Of Country

Made For Something More

Great American Outpost is a community of Christian homeschoolers who believe in God and who love our country and the principles that founded it. We reject the fallacy that Christians shouldn’t be involved in politics, business, culture, economics and finances, industry, and policy-making. We are to be faithful in all areas of life, wherever God calls and plants us.

Does this describe you?

As a Christian homeschooling parent, you feel called...

As a Christian homeschooling parent, you feel called to give your children a successful and God-centered education. You want to train your kids to be engaged in many different areas of life. You are interested in entrepreneurship and trade, and not necessarily college for your kids. You are a hard-working, down-to-earth parent who values principle and truth over wealth, status, prestige, and big names.

You want to be in a community that understands and doesn’t judge you for your stance on medical freedom, limited government, personal responsibility, practicality, and critical thinking. You don’t care for fluff or snobbery when it comes to academics but you still desire quality curriculum and accountability.

You are somewhat politically engaged and have concerns about the decline of the country. You have a sense of urgency to raise your children to love God, family, and country. You do not buy into the wokeness of culture, but you are awake to the decline and want hope for your children’s future. You have tried other homeschool programs or co-ops and found them lacking due to their focus or not being pleased with the environment.

Unlock these principles in your kids...

– To have fortitude and backbone to stand up for truth and righteousness
– To become biblical citizens who have an eternal perspective of life with robust and meaningful engagement in society today
– To face hard times with grace and strength
– To love God, family, and country
– To be principled leaders and bold disciples
– To be in the world but not of the world

If this is you … you’ll fit right in at Great American Outpost.

Our Core Principles

Self Governance

The first and, arguably, foundational element to a sound civil government is internal self-government. Self-government includes personal responsibility, moral excellence, a biblical standard of virtue, a sense of duty over desire. It embodies reason that can distinguish truth from falsehood, good from evil, and right from wrong and the ability to act consistent with righteousness.

Constitutional Republic

America is not a democracy nor a republic but a Constitutional Republic. The Constitution is a safeguard for the people against being ruled by the whims of man with its brilliant system of checks and balances. Every bill and mandate need to be examined against the Constitution as the highest law of the land – not judges, governors, health departments, or presidents.

Limited Government

Government exists to protect and preserve the rights of the people that were bestowed by God and that exist in nature. It is to defend life, liberty, and property and not encroach on those rights. The power and scope of the government should be limited to those named in the U.S. Constitution and that protects the flourishing of the individual and family. When the government grows, control and tyranny expand.

Individual Sovereignty & Private Property

Individuals and families are endowed by their Creator to have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This includes the right to make the best decisions for themselves and their families in regard to their faith, welfare, education, health, where they live and work as long as it does not encroach on the rights of others nor dishonor God.

Free Enterprise

An economic system based on free enterprise promotes human flourishing. It embraces and promotes creativity, productivity, hard work, free trade, and personal and fiscal responsibility.

We Believe...

– That there is a God who created the universe and who governs all things.
That God created two genders – male and female.
– That God created marriage between a man and a woman.
– That all life is sacred and a baby in the womb is a human being.
– That we should have medical freedom.
– We believe in freedom of speech and religion.
– That people are created in the image of God and are equal in value.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. - Ronald Reagan

A Quick Summary Of How We Got Here

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens… 

We are currently in great spiritual turmoil in this country and the world. It is past time that we awaken from our slumber and get serious about the biblical charge of being faithful and bold disciples for Christ. We believe that Christians are waking up and ready to restore the years lost to complacency, laziness, passing off responsibility to others, and overindulgence in non-eternal things. We enjoyed much during the time of prosperity but it is now time to strip ourselves of excess and take up our crosses. One of those ways might mean taking full responsibility for our kids’ education by homeschooling.

Student Activities

We believe that without laser-focus in our children’s education we will see the extinction of freedom in America as we know it within the next generation. We are not called to save America, nor look for a person who can, but to preach the gospel to the world, making disciples of them, being faithful not only in the narrow context of our home and church but in all realms; there is no sacred and secular divide. Our children’s future may look different than the one we faced so we need to normalize trade or entrepreneurship as options to college.
