Mission and Purpose

It is the purpose of the GVCS Broadfording’s Homeschool Program to assist and support families in meeting the responsibilities of educating their children at home. We provide administrative oversight and accountability that satisfies the state of Maryland requirements for home instruction under the supervision of a non-public school. 

Philosophy

The GVCS Broadfording Homeschool Program exists for those families who are committed to the philosophy and lifestyle of training and educating their children within a Biblical Worldview format at home. It is our purpose to assist and support those families who are dedicated to using this means of education as a tool to explore, seek out, and fulfill God's purpose in the lives of their students in the midst of a rigorous academic program. Global Vision Christian School Broadfording views home education as an alternative method of Christian education, not as a tool for select course remediation or advancement.
