Education Portals
What if the best learning for our children looks different than what government schools have been presenting for the last sixty years? At Portals we are building new tools for learning at home, in micro-schools, and supporting Christian private education. Let's explore current research, digital media, Biblical wisdom, classical models, and transformative projects for developing a new framework for local learning.

Cindy and Seann discuss the value of shorter lessons, engaging literature, and project-based learning to foster higher order thinking and authentic engagement in children. Listen to this episode for practical ways that you can create a hands-on, flexible, and passion-driven approach to education that nurtures both academic and personal growth in your children.
