“Con-cen-TRA-tion! Id-i-od-i-A-tion! Now be-GIN-ning The GAME!” by Banríon S. Perhaps fellow parents will recall the hand-clapping game from our youth. It began with that chant, was followed by the category name and appropriate rhythmic responses, and dissolved in laughter when someone stammered and stuttered, repeated an already-offered answer, or missed a clap. As theContinue Reading
Kolbe Academy Online Conceptual Framework by Steve Schultz Kolbe Academy Online is “dedicated to forming the whole individual – mind, body and soul – to renew the world with children and young adults with high educational, moral, civic, and spiritual values centered on the principle of Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam – doing allContinue Reading
Dianne and her late husband, Jerry, are one of the three founding couples of Kolbe Academy . Dianne taught grades 1 through 4 for many years at Kolbe Academy’s Day school and could always humbly assert that most of her students read, comprehended, wrote and did math at least one full level above their grade.

Eyes are Opened We started meeting families that were homeschooling and we were quite intrigued. They invited us into their homes for us to see what their school day looked like. We were impressed with their well-mannered children and how joyful these families were. We could relate to their faith, morals and values. We reallyContinue Reading
Time Flies It seems like just yesterday that my husband was trying to convince me to homeschool our children. I remember he was offering to change one of our rooms in our newly built house into a classroom. His enthusiasm was sweet, but definitely not reality, in my mind. My idea of motherhood and familyContinue Reading
This past week, I posed a series of questions to the President of Northeast Catholic College, Dr. George Harne. I was eager to learn more about the school, having written many recommendations for Kolbe Academy students who are applying there–some of the best and the brightest among them–and wanted to find out more about theContinue Reading
A False Dichotomy of Science and Faith Catholic parents often find themselves at a loss when it comes to science education. Society’s clear message is that one can either be reasonable or religious, but certainly not both. Our culture sets us up with an impossible choice between fidelity and rationality.
