Saint Benedict Hall will consider a student’s special interests, talents, and skills. The program makes no distinction in its admission policy on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin. In light of our Biblical commitments, our admissions process is aimed at finding and partnering with families that have a lifestyle and belief system that is consistent with the program’s Christian beliefs and mission.

8 EXPECTATIONS OF OUR PARENTS

Exhibit an understanding of homeschool education or a genuine curiosity and interest in learning more about homeschooling. Parents should be ready and excited to collaborate with SBH at home.
Have a growth mindset– families should have a willingness to allow their children to be challenged and struggle in order to mature. Parents shouldn’t be overly protective, hovering, or wanting to eliminate difficulty socially or academically.
Families should be active in their church community with other Christians or are actively supportive to collaborating with SBH as a Christian program. Parents are not required to be Christians, but they shouldn’t be combative or threatened by their children being taught Creedal Christian stories, values, or truths. SBH will unapologetically teach from a Biblical worldview as interpreted in Nicene Creed.
Families should be actively supportive (not reluctant) of their children receiving a classical Christian education.
Families should be willing to handle conflicts respectfully, graciously, discreetly, and carefully, while believing and speaking the best about each individual involved.
Parents should embody (or growing toward) a disciplined approach to learning that values courtesy, kindness, courage, diligence, attention, and self control. Parents should view discipleship as a life-long calling that starts by being modeled in the home.
Children enrolled as students at SBH should be teachable and responsive to correction of tutors– demonstrating a willingness to live in community according to the policies in our handbook.
Families should have healthy and age appropriate boundaries on screen time, media content, and social media.

Saint Benedict Hall admits students of any race, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students in the homeschool program. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs, elective programs, or other educational-administered programs.
