WHY A MISSION STATEMENT MATTERS

A mission statement serves as a guiding roadmap for your homeschooling journey, providing clarity and direction. While your homeschooling style may evolve as your children grow and you gain more experience, your mission statement remains constant. It becomes a valuable tool when making decisions, such as whether your child should take a specific class, learn an instrument, or use a particular curriculum. By referring back to your mission statement, you can ensure that your choices align with your long-term goals.

BIRDSONG JACKSON SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to cultivate a learning environment where our children can develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a deep sense of independence. We focus on preparing them not just for specific careers, but for a healthy, happy, and balanced life as productive members of society who are financially independent and outstanding human beings.

We focus on building superior skills in:

1. Critical thinking - The cornerstone skill that enables our children to adapt and acquire new skills in an ever-changing world.
2. Interest-based learning - Allowing our children to explore their passions and dive deeply into subjects that excite them, fostering a lifelong love for learning.
3. Entrepreneurship and practical experiences - Involving our children in real-world decision-making processes, such as business ventures, significant purchases, and long-term planning, to ensure they understand the practical applications of their education.

Our approach includes:

• Curated learning experiences that prioritize quality over quantity, selecting the best experts and opportunities for our children to learn what’s most important.
• A strong emphasis on creativity and improvisation, encouraging our children to think outside the box and adapt to new situations with confidence.
• A requirement to start a business as part of their graduation, providing hands-on experience that goes beyond theoretical knowledge and prepares them for real-world challenges.

Our ultimate goal is for our children to learn as much as they can, as quickly as they want to, while taking the time to deeply explore their interests. We aim to guide them toward financial independence and equip them with the skills and mindset necessary to live fulfilling, impactful lives.
