About

Welcome to the DaVinci Homeschool Resource Network

Welcome to my homeschooling “blog”—a space dedicated to empowering parents on their journey through their children’s education. As a father of four, I’ve observed that many dads often lack the resources, encouragement, and, frankly, the accountability necessary to take an active role in their kids’ learning experiences. This site aims to bridge that gap by providing practical advice, inspiration, and tools for parents (especially dads) who want to take charge of their children’s educational and formative journeys.

With a Master’s degree in Education and years of experience in children’s ministry, entrepreneurship, and Christian media, I bring a unique perspective to the table. My background has taught me the importance of engaging with children in meaningful ways and staying laser-focused on what truly matters. I am passionate about sharing these insights with fellow parents. Here, you’ll find a wealth of resources—from educational strategies and activities to tips for fostering a positive learning environment at home.

My goal is to serve parents and equip them with the knowledge and confidence they need to lead their kids effectively. Whether you’re just beginning your homeschooling adventure or looking to take a more proactive approach to parenting, this site is designed to support you every step of the way. Together, let’s cultivate a love for learning in our children and create an enriching educational experience that prepares them for a bright future.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Discipleship Oriented

My educational philosophy is deeply intertwined with my faith. While I understand that not all readers share this faith perspective, I believe there is still much value to be found on this site. However, it’s important to note that without this faith component, you would be missing a critical ingredient in what i am doing here.

Education plays a pivotal role in discipleship. For Christian parents, we are tasked with the responsibility to disciple and guide our children. My hope is that this site will inspire and support you in this journey, helping you approach it with joy and a renewed sense of wonder about the world.

Why Davinci?

When it comes to homeschooling, the choice of educational philosophy can greatly influence the way we approach learning. I’ve chosen to model my homeschooling philosophy after the principles and practices of great thinkers in the past, such as Leonardo DaVinci—an extraordinary polymath whose work transcended traditional boundaries of art, science, and education. Here’s why I find inspiration in DaVinci’s life and methods, and how they inform my homeschooling approach:

Curiosity and Exploration

Da Vinci’s insatiable curiosity led him to explore a vast range of subjects, from anatomy to painting, engineering to botany. This spirit of exploration is central to our homeschooling philosophy. We encourage children to ask questions, seek answers, and dive into diverse topics, fostering a love for learning that goes beyond textbooks. Just as Da Vinci embraced the world around him, we aim to instill a sense of wonder and exploration in our children.

Integration of Disciplines

One of Da Vinci's greatest strengths was his ability to connect seemingly unrelated fields of knowledge. He seamlessly blended art and science, demonstrating that creativity can coexist with analytical thinking. We adopt a similar interdisciplinary approach by integrating subjects like mathematics, literature, history, and the arts. This not only enriches learning but also helps children understand the interconnectedness of knowledge.

Hands-On Learning

Da Vinci valued hands-on experience, as reflected in his numerous sketches and inventions. Inspired by this, our homeschooling emphasizes experiential learning. Whether through art projects, science experiments, or field trips, we prioritize activities that allow children to directly engage with the material and apply their learning in practical ways.

Creativity and Innovation

As an artist and inventor, Da Vinci exemplified creativity and innovation. He approached challenges with a unique perspective, often developing groundbreaking ideas and inventions. In our homeschooling, we encourage children to think outside the box, explore their creativity, and express themselves through various mediums. This emphasis on creative thinking equips them to tackle real-world problems with confidence and originality.

Lifelong Learning

Da Vinci’s legacy stands as a testament to the power of lifelong learning. He was always evolving, continually seeking to expand his knowledge and skills. This principle resonates deeply with our homeschooling journey, where we view education as a continuous process. We strive to instill in our children the importance of adaptability and a growth mindset, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
