THEO Scholarships
In this day and age nearly every private school has
scholarship money allocated as part of their annual tuition budget. THEO is not
a private school nor even like a private school in a variety of ways, but in
particular in this way.
THEO was founded by single-income homeschooling families to
benefit other single-income homeschooling families. THEO class fees are a
fraction of private schools tuition because of our heart to assist single-income
homeschooling families afford help in the education of their children—without
asking them to give up control of the education of their children.
· Although I regret that we don’t have a
scholarship fund,
· although we
could raise our tuition to allow for a scholarship budget,
· although we could change THEO to a
501©3 non-profit organization with the Treasury Department so that donations
would be tax deductible,
we won’t because it would cause us to change the core of
THEO’s purpose which is to help single-income homeschooling families afford
educational assistance for their 6-12th grade children. Raising the price of
THEO classes for the many to help the few doesn’t make sense if it compromises
our mission to help the many. Changing to a 501©3 organization gives the
government a degree of control over THEO which we are not willing to sacrifice.
That said, please ask if you need a
scholarship. On occasion, about twice a year, THEO receives donations for
scholarship money. Frequently God has already matched the donation with a
particular family and He reveals that in His timing of the gift with the
request.
We
also have several families who help clean THEO in exchange for class tuition. If
you would like to be considered for that position, please contact me to find out
availability and then submit a teacher application with references. Obviously
this is not a last minute job we offer, but one given well in advance of the
need since there are so many who need assistance.
Thank you for understanding. Thank you
for being a part of the homeschooling world where we sacrifice the much for the
education of our children.
Sincerely,
Terri Threadgill
THEO Director
