Murphy101 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ug. 8 long years and I still haven't settled on a name for our homeschool. nothing just seems to "ring" or "fit" just right, kwim? I want it to express our Catholic faith in some way. I do not want it to use the word "school" or our last name. Dh says to just go with Ridgemont or Rydell High:p We have a family motto of sorts. Family takes care of family. Any ideas? Want to share your school name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Foley International Academy here. Last name, we seem to be overseas more than state side(international) and well we just liked academy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Sorry about your plight...I totally understand. We are The Aquitaine Academy. Mostly based on my fascination with Eleanor of Aquitaine. I even named my dd after her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alenee Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm in the same boat. We had to put down the name of our school for one of the book store discount cards so I just put our last name and academy. I want something better though.

mazakaal Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I named our school Chapel Hill Academy because at the time the road we lived on was called Chapel Hill. I really never need to use the name for anything, but, even though we've since moved, I still think of our homeschool as Chapel Hill Academy, mostly because we move too often to change the school name with every move, and because I think it has a nice ring to it. Maybe, to reflect your Catholic faith, you could call it Trinity Academy, All Saints Academy, or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I ended up picking a name when I was setting up my account with Scholastic. It's Celestial Grove Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking of latin phraes and adding Academy after it....but so far, nothing rings true! Sorry I cannot be more help, but you are not alone!

Family takes care of family. Any ideas? Want to share your school name? Incitatus Academy. Because it was the name of Caligula's horse that he made a senator (...it basically means swiftness), and I'm bent that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I love these. I've never been able to come up with a name for ours. of course, I've never actually needed a name either. I just put homeschool if a name is asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 We finally settled on a name for our homeschool! Well we HOPE we have anyways. Guess time will tell whether it's a "keeper" or not.;) Actually I was making my own homeschool membership "id" cards (awesome easy cheap to design and print online with pretty decent results, imho!) and wanted to put an "name" on it. I asked dh who said, "What's the saint for today? The Apostle St. Matthew? That'll work. Use it!" and in an unusual show of stubborn insistance on something he normally wouldn't have cared a fig for or even remembered discussing with me, he refused to discuss any other names with me. So. We are now St. Matthew Academy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
