Mission Statement<\/h2>\n

Our mission is to support and enhance the efforts of homeschooling families by providing classical and Christian tutorial services. Our curriculum utilizes the methodology of the trivium, the educational foundation of our Western culture.<\/p>\n

As home educators ourselves, we understand how difficult it is to provide a distinctly Christian and classical education for our children. Even though it is our heart\u2019s desire that they receive this type of excellent education, we may sometimes lack the time and expertise to offer all of the curricula to all of our children on our own. Rivendell, a nonprofit Christian and classical study center, assists parents by providing a two-day-per-week tutorial service for grades 1-12. Rivendell students are instructed by tutors in core subjects including history, Latin, logic, writing, and literature, with additional courses offered annually in science, math, and other disciplines.<\/p>\n
