What do EPIC Adventures and the Latest Brain
Research on Learning Have in Common?
Both agree that children learn best when their education
is meaningful, inspiring, experiential, comprehensive
and fun.
...in mainstream textbooks...sitting in front of a computer screen...through endless repetitive workbook assignments
EPIC
Adventures embody the discoveries from the latest brain
research
combined with innovations born of experience from
twenty years
homeschooling my children.
Provide learning that stimulates your child's character AND intellect
Imprints your child with the habits and pattern of a scholar
Instills a life-long love of learning
Nurtures close relationships and meaningful, shared experiences
Prepares your child to live with purpose and contribution
Believe me, eighteen years fly by in a flash.
EPIC Adventures allow you to send your children off into the
world prepared in a way no other educational system can.
They've made a tremendous difference in my life...and in
building my children's character and educational success.
I am thrilled to share them with you.
With deepest sincerity,

The EPIC Adventure Academy
benefits and features for your children
and for you:
Brain-Firing Learning Environment
* Meaningful content - captures interest, imagination,
inspires motivation from within.
* All subjects integrated.
All subjects combine and work together to help
children see connections between the subjects, the
theme of the Adventure, and their own lives.
This pattern of seeing true connections between
seemingly unrelated things impresses upon their
character through the years and becomes a
habit of thought that they carry with them throughout their lives. Seeing connections in this way is a
characteristic of Renaissance thinking.
* EPIC Adventures draw from the latest brain research
signifying how the brain learns best.
* A pattern for accomplishment and excellence.
* An EPIC Adventure incorporates the 4 EPIC Principles.
Heart-Firing Emotional Connection
* Heart-firing emotional connection to the Adventure.
* Inspire - draw your child into the excitement of
learning and inspire their own initiative in learning pursuits.
* Romance your child's heart and ignite a passionate,
life-long love of learning.
* Memorable - as the years pass, the mere mention
of the name of an EPIC Adventure will release floods of vivid memories, experiences and information in a way
that pages from a textbook can never do.
* Develop creativity and imagination.
* Access the power of story - children enter into an
Adventure, and are caught up in story.
* Individualized - Tap into the power of Inquiry projects
that utilize different modalities and the multiple
intelligences to bring out your child's unique gifts
and utilize them as highly-effective tools for learning,
understanding and growth.

projects rather than isolated, fragmented busywork.

entire school-year-long EPIC Adventure based around
a central theme.
