EQUIP Mission Statement

To provide excellent academics to homeschool families from a Biblical Worldview.

What is EQUIP Education?

EQUIP Education has served the homeschool community since 2009 as a non-profit, 501(c)3 ministry providing quality Christian courses to homeschoolers.  After 12 years in person, we transitioned to a live online program to allow us to reach and support more homeschoolers in need of quality Christian academics. However, this is not your typical online class. All classes are a live classroom where students interact with each other and their instructor. In addition students have access to their instructor throughout the week for additional support as needed. At Equip we strive to offer the best in live online education to the homeschool community.   All 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 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 full enrollment 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 but not be responsible for the homework deliverables. We also offer curriculum packaging and planning through our Independent Study Program which allows you to 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 homeschool programs out there?

  • 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 and structure 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 Instructors are or were homeschool parents or students themselves. This means they understand the unique dynamic of homeschooling and have lived experiences as homeschoolers. We do not just take anyone on our Instructor Staff but rather those that align with and understand the homeschool journey and commitment families make.

  • 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.
