How do you customize your child's English education?

As homeschoolers, we are perfectly leveraged to customize our children's education.  The sooner you break out of the government school mindset, the better.  Your schedule is what you make it.  Your curriculum is what you choose.  Your pace is what you decide.  It's called FREEDOM!  

This means that you do not have to follow a traditional path.  For example, you might desire for your children to study four years of high school English, but that doesn't have to consist of American Literature or British Literature. or our College Prep Writing class.  Although they are worthwhile studies, and The Inspired Scholar does offer those, you could also fulfill a high school English credit with our Intro. to Linguistics class, which we will be offering this fall 2026-2027.

The Inspired Scholar is an unapologetically Christian organization. We have not minimized or whitewashed our lessons to reach a broader audience or for fear of offending.  A true education must include God, the God of the Bible. This means that our instruction teaches through the lens of the Word of God.

As Christians, we know that mankind did not develop from apes nor were they un-evolved cave men who could only grunt.  God made Adam fully formed with intelligence and speech. The Bible also explains where all the languages came from. Our Intro. to Linguistics class will teach about language through science and the Bible.

A sampling of the fun topics we will explore:

• Why do people from the same town sound completely different?
• How can one word mean something friendly in one culture—and offensive in another?
• What secret patterns do all languages share, from English to ancient tongues?
• How do accents form, spread, and sometimes disappear?
• Can the way you speak influence how others see your intelligence, confidence, or personality?
• How do detectives, historians, and tech companies use linguistics to solve real-world mysteries?
• If language is always changing, what will English sound like 100 years from now?
