Following the canons and traditions of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, together with the encyclicals and allocutions of the popes, we homeschooling parents are those who teach our own children every branch of study within our own homes, which Pope John Paul II calls the “domestic church.” We accept and respond, in a special manner, to Holy Mother Church’s admonition to “beget and teach children physically, socially, culturally, academically, morally and religiously” and do so “according to the teaching handed on by the Church.” (Canon 226.2)
We heed the Holy Father who, in his Letter to Families, expressed the Church’s teachings to us most succinctly when he said, “You are educators because you are parents.”
Because we understand that “Christian education takes in the whole of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, individual, domestic and social,” as stated in Christian Education of Youth, and because we obey the Church Who tells us that parents are, indeed, the primary educators of their own children, we personally educate our children.
