Karen in CO Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 For my son's transcript we are myStreetName Classical Academy. For normal daily functions, we are "The Magic School House." The classical academy name just seemed more formal for a transcript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in Central TX Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Right now, our name includes our last name, but I'm thinking of using our street name instead. Currently it's (Last Name) Family Christian Academy. I'm leaning more toward (Street Name) Classical Academy. As Karen pointed out below, I think a more formal name is needed on a transcript.

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I can't seem to get a high quality graphic in the screenshot so excuse the blurriness. Honest, it does look nice on the letterhead. BTW, we normally pronounce it like our family name, "Drake," not the right way, which is "Dree-okt." We chose it for what seems like dozens of reasons, but my favorite is that my very first adventure in self-directed learning when I first started down my homeschooling journey, as a teen, was researching my father's claim that our family name was an Americanized version of the word for Druid. It's probably not true, but I love being reminded of my first ever homeschool lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ours is the Ridge School. Be are on a small ridge over looking the Chattahoochee River, so it seemed to fit.

nukeswife Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 We were originally Voyager Academy, but then found out there is an actual school with that name somewhere in NC, so we tweaked it a bit. We're now Voyager Learning Center. This is our current logo, it's a little small and we'd love to find a good picture of the Star Trek ship our school is named after. For now this one will do.

Mama Lynx Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Wow, it's Celtic and classical. That's brilliant! Thanks! I thought it was brilliant ;-) Caerdroia = a Welsh name that can be translated as the Fortress of Troy. We've adopted the symbol as our family symbol: It honors both our Celtic heritage, and our classical side. I love your logo, and your school name! And I pronounce it "dree-ocht." ;-) But I thought "drake" meant dragon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 started out as Magnum Opus Classical Academy because I figure that our kids are our "best work" and we want to give our "greatest work" to God, and I like the line in Charlotte's Web where she talks about her eggs being her magnum opus. I also loved the movie Mr Holland's Opus. :-) But, the kids wanted to change it to Magnum Opus Classical Historical Academy because they love history, but mostly because then the initials spell out MOCHA! How could I complain about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvergreenEclecticAcademy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Evergreen Eclectic Academy Here's how/why I chose our school name: ev·er·green (ěv'ər-grēn') adj. (1) Having foliage that persists and remains green throughout the year. (2) Perenially fresh or interesting; enduring. [American Heritage Dictionary] (3) We live in the Pacific Northwest. :001_smile: e·clec·tic (ĭ-klěk'tĭk) adj. (1) Selecting or choosing from various sources. (2) Not following any one system...but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems. [Dictionary.com Unabridged (v1.1)] (3) We are a very eclectic bunch. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy from WT Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 For NINE years we couldn't come up with a good name! So as a joke among ourselves, we were the "Gabungi Institute of Technology." To outsiders, we were the Olsen Academy. Nice and boring outside, funny and quirky to ourselves! We were still on the hunt for the right name. Then three years ago, it finally hit me. Now we are named after a musical group that my husband was in as a teenager. It has great spiritual significance as well personal meaning, and is a nice way to draw my husband into things as well. The name we finally chose? "His Will Academy." :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisawa Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Koinonia Academy... The essential meaning of the koinonia embraces concepts conveyed in the English terms community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy. Koinonia can therefore refer in some contexts to a jointly contributed gift. The word appears 19 times in most editions of the Greek New Testament. In the NASB, it is translated “fellowship†twelve times, “sharing†three times, and “participation†and “contribution†twice each.... :) I like what the word represents... and it is what my desire is for my family.... Its an ultimate fellowship..... a contributed gift.... my kids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Indeed Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Our church did a musical called Acorns to Oaks and it had a really cool Acorns to Oaks song and my children loved it so much, we named ourselves Acorns to Oaks Academy and we have our own theme song... "He's changing this acorn into a mighty oak- He's making me holy, He's teaching me to grow. Learning to trust and obey, I'm getting stronger each day..." and of course there is more, but I don't want to type it all out. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
