What Parents Say
“
When you become a parent, you automatically become a steward of your God-bestowed child. It is a role unlike any other that requires the greatest of intention to ‘train up a child in the way they should go.’
It was this Biblical mandate that called my husband and me to homeschool over a decade ago, and it has been one of the greatest investments of my life. Over time I have discovered the necessity and merit of aligning with other like-minded homeschool families. Joining GAO has provided a community of Believers and patriots that has encouraged and strengthened me to continue purposefully and urgently fighting for the minds and souls of my children.
While many educational systems continue to ravage virtue, promote iniquitous behavior, and vilify their own homeland and countrymen, GAO actively seeks to provide Godly and historically accurate curriculum and guidance for the upcoming generation and their parents, and to promote a sense of duty and personal responsibility that will positively affect the future of our ‘one nation under God.’
“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”–Abraham Lincoln

Homeschool Parent of 10+ Years
“
Homeschooling wasn’t quite on our radar when we had our first child. In fact, we were both working parents until God made it blatantly clear I needed to stay home with our child. Come school age, I interviewed Principals at local schools and did school tours. We now have two beautiful children God blessed us with at this point.
Again, God made It blatantly clear to homeschool our children. We didn’t join a Homeschool Co Op at first because we were just not finding the right fit for our family and our beliefs. Another God moment, Great American Outpost was here locally and starting a new chapter (Chattanooga, TN). THIS WAS IT! THIS is what we’ve been looking for! A place away from home that supports our biblical beliefs and our patriotism. A place with like-minded families and terrific children. GAO gives us the support and tools to give our children a solid ground to stand on. It’s biblical, historical, and constitutional.
It’s like a breath of fresh air every Community Day knowing there are other families with the same God centered beliefs and desires for them and their children surrounding my family. GAO has been such a blessing to our family and I pray more families come along our side and join us.

"
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
