Create a strong relationship with God

Each day at Glenn J Kimber Online Academy (GJKOA) Students are encouraged to pray, but also to listen to the promptings of the spirit of God, and write those promptings down. As students follow this practice of speaking with their Father in Heaven and writing down the answers they receive, they will create a strong and lasting relationship with God that will carry into all aspects of their lives and create lasting fulfillment and success.

Have stronger family relationships

All students and all parents are actively involved in their student’s education through parent trainings, dean meetings, and daily follow up with their children. Parents are also encouraged to regularly attend class with their children as this builds the bonds between parent and child.

Hours spent in the core curriculum at GJKOA is limited to roughly 12 hours a week. Not only are students able to excel even with such limited hours, but they are given more time to spend with family. By spending the majority of their time with family rather than at school, students will build stronger family relationships.

Learn to defend their freedom and their country

We teach the principles and values which promote freedom and good government, and honor our Founding Fathers who taught us these principles.

Think creatively

Creative thinking is important for brain development and will set students up for success in the future. Most modern school stifle creativity by simply giving students the answers without any training in how to discover the answers for themselves. In science, GJKOA students do their own research to create their own textbooks and use art to illustrate them. In math they learn how God used mathematics to create the entire universe. In Language Arts students will learn the “art of communication” through stories, poetry, thought, and service.

Become leaders in all they do

Student’s at GJKOA become leaders. The online classrom experience lends itself to understanding how technology can be used to lead.  Then at home, your older children are able to teach and mentor the younger children, thus giving them not only leadership but teaching experience as well. This skill will help them in social circumstances throughout their lives.

Learn how to learn

The curriculum at GJKOA teaches children how to learn. Students must learn to research for themselves in order to complete the tasks assigned in the curriculum. Not only do they learn how to know the physical answer to their questions, but they also learn how to know the spiritual answer through scripture study and prayer. Students graduate from GJKOA with confidence that they can find the answer to any problem they encounter.

Serve their fellow men

Student service is at the core of what we do at GJKOA. Through their study of language arts they will have the opportunity to perform over 160 academic service projects over a four-year period. After completing these service projects, students will have developed the talent of “learning how to lose oneself in academic service.” 

Govern their lives by true principles

Students will learn and memorize principles, examples of their use, and then how to apply them to their own lives. While at GJKOA they will study principles backed by scripture that they will know how to apply to their lives in order to govern their daily actions. This talent of “learning how to self-govern using correct principles” will be of invaluable worth all their lives.
