    ACHSA's Learning Pods

    Due to Covid-19 and restrictions on large group gatherings, we are unable to host our large monthly events as we've done in past years.  Our leadership team has also made the difficult decision to cancel TLC 2021 (The Learning Centre).  While we cannot meet in large groups this year, building relationships and connecting with fellow home learners is our heart and prayer.  So where does this leave us?

    We are excited to announce ACHSA's Learning Pods, a series of 4-week mini co-ops.  The Learning Pods will consist of 3-4 families with a common interest.  Each Learning Pod will meet weekly for 4 weeks.  The first pod will meet in October, the second pod in February and the third pod in April.  The day of the week and time of day will be unique to each pod.  Families can choose to participate in one, two or all three Learning Pods.

    Sign ups for the first pods will go out later in September or early October to those who have completed their 2020-21 ACHSA Registration.  Once the Learning Pod registrations are filled out, we will take the activity suggestions and post them all in an email so interested families can contact the lead teacher to sign up their child(ren).  Each pod will have a host home, a lead parent/teacher and 1-2 helping parents.  As we know there may be expenses with some of the Learning Pods so ACHSA would like to support the Learning Pods with grants to those who request it, providing the expenses are directly related to the learning pod theme and receipts are saved and submitted.  Grants will be given up to $50 each.

    Our goal is to have many options available.  Some examples are hikes, bike rides, bird watching, nature note booking, outdoor PE, sewing, cooking, woodworking, art, novel study, video making, and much more!  Ideally, we'd love for these options to be available for several age groups.  We are excited for this year and to see your creative juices come to life!

    Other Details

    Statement of Faith

    • All home learners are welcome regardless of their personal Christian beliefs.
    • The Bible, as originally given by God, is the inspired, complete, authoritative, written Word of God, without any mistakes (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12).
    • God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was God come in human flesh, being fully God and fully man except without sin (John 1:1-2; Colossians 1:15; John 10:30).
    • Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully man.  He lived a perfect life, was crucified for our sins, rose from the dead and is now sitting at the right hand of God (John 1:1,14; Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26).
    • Everyone has sinned.  Forgiveness and salvation are offered as a gift; free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone (Romans 3:23,  Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 10: 9-10).​

I recognize that the nature of some of what my children and I attend may involve moderate physical activity that poses a light risk of personal injury. Neither the ACHSA executives, nor the event organizers shall be deemed liable for my children, or my property while in attendance of official or unofficial programs or events. My or my children’s participation is at my own discretion and risk. I acknowledge that some field trips and events will require pre-payment without a refund, even if attendance is no longer possible.

    If my children participate in an ACHSA event without my presence, it’s my duty to arrange an alternate, responsible adult to supervise them in my absence and I agree to leave an emergency contact number with the leaders. If necessary, leaders may take action to communicate expectations of conduct to my children if they are behaving in an unsafe or disrespectful manner.
