About Us
Scholé Hall is a Christian ecumenical community non-profit organization (501c3) that exists to encourage, educate, and engage with the local community of homeschool families in and near the Georgetown, Texas area.
For younger students, parents contribute to the community in a co-op format by staying on campus and participating in leadership and service roles.
Parents drop off their older students for a la carte classes, all taught independently by various teachers.

Faith & Worldview
It's impossible to have no worldview at all—we all have one, including our teachers. Coming from a variety of backgrounds, all teachers affirm the historic Nicene Creed (which has been affirmed by all orthodox Christians since the fourth century), as well as these three tenets:
The Role of Permanent Things: There is objective truth, goodness, and beauty, and they are knowable.
The Role of People: Humans are made by God and are created to thrive within families. Parents, therefore, are the primary and final educators of their children.
The Role of Education: True education is the formation of loving the right things in the right way. (sources: Plato and Augustine)
Families holding any worldview or faith tradition are welcome to register their students for classes, and they will not need to sign any sort of statement of faith.
Scholé Hall teachers won't shy away from their convictions, yet they will not proselytize their personal faith or worldview during classes. We wholeheartedly embrace free will, and understand that ultimately we are all called to form our own beliefs and that they must rest on some sort of foundational philosophy. Classes will not be explicitly religious in nature, and in the older grades, when the Bible is read it is treated as literature.
For more specifics about this topic related to each class, parents should directly communicate with individual teachers.
