AndyJoy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 My DS isn't school age yet, but the name I picked out 10 years ago and will probably use is Embassy Academy. I chose the name because of 2 Corinthians 5:20 "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."

rocketgirl Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 This is our first full year home schooling as a family & I really want a name, not just "our last name....Home School". I like how other families have thought of ways to incorporate their values into their names too, but I just haven't come up with anything... Maybe one of our first school activities will be brainstorming, but I'm kind of afraid of what my kids might come up with - because it'll be something like "Bikini Bottom Home School". I'm eager to hear more ideas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithfull Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 We call ours "faith academy." of course because of the faith we seek to build in our little ones but also playing back to the teacher's (me) name and because it gives my husband and i a chuckle since it's such a common name back in india.

silliness7 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 " (last name) Academy" And just a side tangent. Is anybody else getting annoying phone calls from major suppliers thinking you're an institutional school? We've gotten several over the summer. Is this the secretary for the "blah blah Academy?" Ummmm....I guess? Pitney Bowes Comcast and somebody selling printers/ink by the truckload. We only have 6 students and 1 (very underpaid) staff. No I don't need a machine to help me fold my mail or 100 ink cartridges. Quit calling. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrical Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Many years ago, when I was homeschooling my eldest, (who was quite the Latin scholar,) we named our school Pharos Academy, after the lighthouse at Alexandria. One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, it also held the largest library of the ancient world. I figure I'll stick with the name as I start homeschooling my youngest.

Berta Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Ours is White Sands Christian Academy.

Although I'm the only one in our family who calls it that. :lol: DH doesn't like it, and the kids don't even know that I've named our school this. :p But I love it! It reminds me of the verse from Matthew "Let your light so shine..." (although some would dispute that homeschooling is putting your kids under a bushel, rather than on a candlestick, but I consider our time at home as being the "waxing" phase, before their candles are "lit". ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Live Oak Christian Academy We have a huge live oak in our yard and our school verse is Psalm 1:3.."He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers." If you know anything about live oaks, it's that their leaves do not wither (i.e. they are green year round). So the verse, the tree in our yard, and our goals for our children (yield their fruit in season, to prosper) just all came together. Of course, our mascot is the Acorns because let's face it, we are NUTS!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
