What does a child really need to know to succeed in life? And what is success? The NEW EARTH Homeschool Academy Online not only redefines education, it redefines success. NEW EARTH stands for Natural Environment Wholesome Education Awakening Responsibility To Humanity. Values such as cooperation, harmony, interdependence, honesty, respect, trust and concern for the well being of others are values that make up the foundation of the classes. NEW EARTH Homescool Academy Online presents a curriculum that prepares students to create the world they want to live in, a world where their creative energies, talents and interests are appreciated and can benefit the society in which they live.
The classes are taught from an online curriculum, supervised by parents who themselves must first be prepared with the prerequisite class "Parenting With Peace."
During the COVID lockdown, many parents discovered that trying to manage their children's attention to online class session was an overwhelming task. They discovered themselves impatient, short tempered, frustrated, and in the end they were asking the children, "Why do you all have to learn this stuff, anyway?"
This, of course, is a valid question. For generations, parents have sent their children to school to learn what is many times useless information, and the children are made to feel bad if they don't memorize it well enough to get a good grade on a test.
The NEW EARTH Homeschool Academy Online has a different purpose for education. This is a school that will prepare children to create a new culture with values that reflect the importance of all life and an understanding of how all life is interconnected. Lessons in Science, Art, Language, History, Mathematics, all subjects are taught from the perspective of how they are all interconnectd and are used in life.
There are no failures, there is only learning until one masters a concept. Students are encouraged to help each other, with the understanding that "When one wins, we all win," teaching cooperation, not competition.
The first class offered is one for the parents, entitled, "Parenting With Peace." It is the pre-requisite class, required before parents begin to supervise their children in the process of learning.
This class is recommended for new parents, soon to be parents, foster parents, grand parents, surrogate parents, and any adults who will have an impact on the life of a child.
In order to change the world in which we live and make it a better place, we must change the way we raise the next generation of children. That means closely examining and transforming what is inside of us, the adults who are conditioned to use verbal, emotional and physical violence in order to make children behave as we desire them to behave. Parents seldom recognize that the violence and conflict in the world today is the result of the hostility directed at individuals since childhood,
The Parenting With Peace course guides adults from pre-conception up to ta child's adulthood at age 18, in the process of using positive reinforcement, motivation, redirection and the instilling of self management skills to produces an emotionally secure, intelligent, confident, creative, adult who will have a positive impact on society. Classes start in September 2026. to enroll in Parenting With Peace, go to https://www.newearthhomeschoolacademyonline.com
