Marie Hamrick, Director of Education
It is a blessing to have the privilege of serving CCS families by providing educational oversight and direction in many different situations as they each pursue their individual objectives for their children.
Through the years, I have observed the homeschooling movement progress from a small segment of the school population to a greater number of families who believe that homeschooling their children provides the option for them to achieve their individual goals. When God calls parents to this commitment, He will direct them to the resources and tools that are available to them whether it is to prepare them to specifically teach their children, to provide instruction in a tutorial plan, to cooperatively teach with other families, or to participate in a program that provides group teaching in a classroom setting.
As an educator, I am rewarded when I see children's lives change as they have the opportunity to receive more individual instruction and more time to focus on the development of Godly character. I am rewarded when I see our high school students receive academic scholarships and honors and be admitted to colleges, universities, and specialized career training schools. I am rewarded when I see our graduates enter the work force prepared for a career that will allow them to make a difference in society. I am greatly rewarded when I know that Circle Christian School has been a part of making a difference in the lives of families and that God has given me the personal privilege of assisting parents in designing educational plans for their children.
