Statement of Faith

It is our purpose to inspire home schooling parents to become all they can be in an effort to show their children "education" as God intended-with diligence, consistency and excellence. In this way, parents (through God's guidance) will train their children in the path they should go.

Code of Conduct

1 Timothy 4:12-Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou examples of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith and in purity.

As representatives of God, our families, WCCI and WCCI HSSG, it is important to always make sure we are displaying Godly character and behavior at all times. Safety and protection is the number one goal for our children when participating in any event or activity through the HSSG. We want to insure that everyone in attendance of an event or activity has an enjoyable time.
