EQUIP Mission Statement

To co-labor alongside home-educators to produce well-educated, committed Christians.

What is EQUIP Education?

EQUIP Education has served the homeschool community since 2009 as a non-profit, 501(c)3 ministry providing quality supplementary, Christian education to homeschoolers. The first 12 years EQUIP students met in person one day a week in a classroom setting and completed assignments at home throughout the week.  Since 2021, we began serving homeschoolers all over the United States through our online program offering the same quality academic instruction with live online classes.  This is not your typical online class. All classes are live and the students can interact with each other and their instructor. In addition students have access to their instructor throughout the week for additional support through our platform. At Equip we strive to offer the best in live online education to the homeschool community.   All EQUIP classes are taught from a Biblical worldview with excellence, integrity, and compassion for each student’s individual needs. 

What is EQUIP Online and how does it work?

EQUIP Online offers classes ranging from 4th through 12th grades in a structured online format. Students at EQUIP engage in live, interactive classes with their teachers and classmates once a week per course they select.  They receive structured homework assignments to complete throughout the week if that option is selected.  Each week your student will submit their work through our online education platform and it will be reviewed and graded by their instructor.  Some EQUIP courses are available to Audit only, meaning your student will attend the online live classes only and not be required or responsible for the additional homework deliverables. We also offer curriculum packaging and planning through our Independent Study Program meaning you may purchase the planned curriculum and your student may work through the course and submit the work for a grade but not attend the live classes. See our enrollment options here.

What Makes EQUIP Unique from other programs?

  • At Equip we realize that the parent is the capital “T” teacher in their students' academic career, making decisions that best serve their child. We count it a privilege and honor to serve as the lower case “t” teacher to co-labor alongside the parent to provide academic support to their homeschool program. That means you as the capital “T” teacher you can select the courses your students takes, excuse assignments if needed, and partner with us in serving your student’s  specific needs.

  • All EQUIP instructors are federally and locally background checked and complete an intensive certified training course specifically for instructors in academic settings and adhere to our statement of faith.

  • EQUIP online courses are a live classroom with interaction between instructor and classmates, providing a genuine interaction and community. We have fun and build relationships. We believe a student doesn’t care what you know until they know you care.

  • EQUIP allows for parents to select the course load best for their student. You can cover the student’s entire highschool career or select one or two courses to support your existing program.

  • In addition to excellent academic instruction from instructors invested in your child’s academic development, EQUIP students have access to their graded work for review and report cards to help create transcripts upon graduation if they choose.

  • EQUIP offers flexibility in enrollment. You can receive all the benefits of full enrollment, which includes live classes, homework and grading; audit a course by attending live classes only and managing your student’s homework, or use our courses for independent study to complete at home without attending the live classes. We work with you to create the best schedule for your student.

  • EQUIP parents have optional access to other parents in their students' grade level if desired. EQUIP parents are offered live zoom meetings with teachers and staff as needed for direction, encouragement, and technical support.

  • At EQUIP we work to guard our students from any ideology that conflicts with Scripture. We will always safeguard your student’s spiritual development above all.

  • EQUIP seeks to do more than load your student with information. Our goal is to teach them to think critically, logically and objectively. We believe “Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make a man a more clever devil.” C.S. Lewis

  • EQUIP instructors provide references and letters of recommendation for students if warranted.
