I. Purpose/Mission

Aiming High Homeschool Group seeks to provide an environment where homeschooling families can gather as a community to:

Support each other in successful education
Encourage growth in Christian principles
Inspire excellence in all aspects of life

This environment will be led by our Board of Directors and facilitated by our member families and teachers. While recognizing that we cannot provide educational options that are a perfect fit for every student and every family, we aim to have multiple options for class and co-op arrangement to help meet the needs of as many students and families as possible.

Presently, Aiming High is an all-volunteer program where one parent volunteers two of the three meeting hours. All classes will be founded on Christian principles. While a particular curriculum for some subjects (such as math or a foreign language) may not be overtly Christian in nature, no curriculum used will be contradictory to biblical teachings.

Recently, interest has been expressed for Aiming High to employee teachers for high school credit classes. In the event such occurs, this Handbook will be updated with an addendum to reflect that.

II.Statement of Beliefs

Aiming High is a community of Christian homeschooling families. We strive to reinforce biblical beliefs in our students. In doing so, we believe:

Every person is fearfully and wonderfully made by the One True Lord and Creator.
We are to love our neighbor (any person we come into contact with, either in person, over the phone, or over electronic devices) as we love ourselves, or even better.
We desire to grow and encourage growth in Christian principles such as:
- Revering the Bible as God’s inerrant Word, which is useful for teaching us what is true, exposing what is false and/or sin, correcting us, and training us in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Living generously, cheerfully giving of our time, gifts, energy, and finances as the Lord provides. (2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
- Living humbly, not counting ourselves as better than any other person. (Philippians 2:3)
- Live a life that shows gratitude to the Lord for His free gift of Salvation and brings glory and honor to His name. (Ephesians 4:1; Matthew 5:16)
We strive to love each other well, despite differences in age, gender, ethnicity, financial status, disability, family makeup, denomination, and/or background. To do this, we endeavor to see each person as God sees them and through His power and grace love one another. Love…
- is patient
- is kind
- does not envy
- does not boast
- is not arrogant
- is not rude
- does not insist on its own way
- is not irritable
- is not resentful
- does not rejoice at wrongdoing
- rejoices with the truth
Specific doctrinal beliefs are found below. These are considered the elements essential to salvation. Variation in non-essential doctrines are to be received with grace.
- Statements of Faith
  
  Please initial next to each set of statements affirming your agreement with them.
  
  ___God - There is one and only one, true and living God. God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the creator, preserver and ruler of all things.
  
  ___The Father - He reigns from His throne in heaven over His creation. He is perfect in holiness, love, power, knowledge?and wisdom.
  
  ___The Son - Jesus Christ is the infinite God-Man. Our Lord Jesus Christ is God and Man in one Person. He was born of?a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and provided atonement for our sin through His shed?blood and death. He was bodily resurrected from the dead, He ascended to the right hand of God the?Father, and He will personally return in power and glory.
  
  ___The Holy Spirit - He is the Spirit of God. He convicts man of sin, calls him to salvation, and effects regeneration. He?indwells all believers as God’s assurance of final redemption. He instructs, comforts, empowers, guides?and develops Godliness in the believers.
  
  ___The Scriptures - The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God to man. It is our sole authority for faith and practice.
  
  ___Man - Man was created by God, in the image of God, as an immortal, morally responsible being whose purpose is to serve and glorify God. Mankind chose rather to serve self-interest and thus all have sinned, creating the need for individual reconciliation to God.
  
  ___Salvation - Salvation is God’s provision for the whole man, provided freely by the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross. It is received by all who repent of their sin and place their faith in Jesus Christ. It includes justification (we are put in right standing with God), regeneration (we receive new life from God), sanctification (we are set apart for God), and glorification (we will live forever with God).
  
  ___Sanctification – God, through the Holy Spirit living within us from the moment we repent and believe in Jesus as Lord, works in us to eliminate sin and develop holiness. As a Christ follower, it is my joyful response to salvation to pursue the Lord’s will and glory in everything I think, say, and do, to live according to biblical principles the Lord has laid out in His Word. On this fallen world, I will never be fully sanctified, but will humbly accept the Lord’s correction (which may on occasion come from another person), hold His Word as the standard for my conduct and beliefs, and prayerfully live out the greatest commandments of loving the Lord God with all my heart, mind, body, and spirit and love my neighbor as myself.
  
  ___ Sexuality - God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. Any form of sexual immorality (including but not limited to same-sex marriage, adultery, fornication, homosexual identification and/or behavior, bisexual identification and/or behavior, and transgender identification and/or behavior) and/or the promoting of such behavior prevents a person from fulfilling God’s design for their life.

IV. Co-op Class Participation Policy

It is important for a group that is dependent on the volunteerism of others that a policy exists which insists that members follow through with any commitments made to the group in terms. To that point, please be sure to honor your commitments to the community, and do not sign up for an event unless you are planning to attend. If, for some reason, you find that you will be unable to attend an event that you have previously signed up for, please contact the coordinator as soon as possible, so that plans can be adjusted and/or businesses alerted. Monday co-op attendance is mandatory. While we realize that sometimes things come up, such as illness, please do not schedule engagements or doctor appointments on co-op days. We have two floaters on staff for those unfortunately days of sickness, but realize that we count on you each week to be at the job you have committed to.

Parents volunteer to serve in some capacity for 2 of the 3 hours of meeting. The 3^rd hour, parents participate in support group, which provides fellowship, support, and prayer.

- Aiming High does not function as a school with a principal or support staff. Each member is asked and expected to take ownership and part in helping keep co-op facilities clean, quiet, and orderly. Students are asked to remember that Aiming High represents a Christian homeschooling community and should therefore demonstrate behavior exemplifying the fruit of the Holy Spirit while participating in all co-op classes and activities. We, by no means, expect participants to behave perfectly at all times, but expect students and parents to strive to live out in such a way that reflect God’s righteousness and grace.
- Behaviors expected specifically while meeting for co-op classes are:

XI. Building Use Policies and Procedures

The entirety of the building (Williamsburg Community Chapel) used for co-op meetings should be left in as good as or better condition than how we found it.
Teachers and parent volunteers are to take a picture of a room when they arrive before setup so they will know how to put tables, chairs, etc. back to the places in which they were found them.
Food and drinks can be consumed only in designated areas and when supervised by adults.
Students, parents, and teachers are not to use food or beverage items belonging to the church. Members of the co-op are to bring whatever items they wish to consume as snacks or meals. If something is needed and the church has it, the co-op member agrees to replace said item.
Children and youth should have adult supervision at all times while they are on the premises. There will be no running or horseplay within the buildings (except supervised playtime in the gym).
If something is spilled, co-op members should clean it up. If a mark is made on something, it should be cleaned off. If something is broken, it should be reported to an Aiming High Homeschool Group leader immediately, and they will communicate the situation to the church liaison.
At the end of each co-op day, designated members will return all WCC items to where they were found them, vacuum or sweep each room used, wipe down tables and chairs as needed, and empty trash cans into the dumpster located in the parking lot. Bathrooms are to be inspected and verified clean. Playground and other outside areas used for recreation are to be inspected to make sure no items or trash has been left behind.
The director will coordinate with all co-op members a cleaning schedule and checklist to be used throughout the year.

XII. Statement on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

At Aiming High Homeschool Group, we believe that every person should be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31.) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the Statement of Faith and/or moral teachings of our group.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen. 1:26-27.) We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including but not limited to same-sex marriage, adultery, fornication, homosexual identification and/or behavior, bisexual identification and/or behavior, and transgender identification and/or behavior) and/or the promoting of such behavior prevents a person from fulfilling God’s design for their life. (Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10.)

We believe that to preserve the function and integrity of Aiming High, and to provide a biblical role model to our students and the community, it is imperative that all persons that volunteer or are employed by Aiming High in any capacity, as well as students, adhere to this Statement on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. (Matt. 5:16; Phil. 2:14-16; 1 Thess. 5:22.)

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11.)

As a result of our beliefs, Aiming High will only identify students, parents, and/or guardians with pronouns connected to their biological sex at birth. By signing this Statement of Sexual Identity and Gender Orientation you affirm that you understand that this is our policy and that Aiming High students must refrain from harassing behavior and from practicing or promoting all forms of sexual immorality as listed above. 10. I understand that Aiming High’s commitment is for the academic year 2024-2025, and that my weekly attendance is mandatory unless there are circumstances out of my control. This also means I must fulfill my committment until the end of the schoolyear. 11. I have Read and understand Aiming High’s Statement of Faith and agree to respect these beliefs upheld by volunteers, teachers, and leadership. 12. I have read, understand, and will abide by the Aiming High Member Family Handbook, including the Statement on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity 13. I have read and understand the Aiming High Tuition Policies. Parents agree to pay the membership fee (and any applicable class supply fee) in accordance with these policies, and acknowledge that if they withdraw their children, they will not be reimbursed the $150 family membership fee. 14. I have read, understand, and agree to abide by the Aiming High Safety Policies, Conduct Policies, Honor Code, and General Policies. 15. I have added my name to two dates on the Snack Rotation (found under "Parent Link" --> Snack Sign Up 16. I understand that I will need to submit to a background check before volunteering at the co-op.
