Our Story

How Inspire began

Inspire blossomed from a vision placed on Kasey’s heart years ago by the Lord: to create a Christ-centered space where children could flourish spiritually, socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically within a joyful, intentional community.

Kasey’s passion for nurturing young hearts for the Lord cultivated during her first years in public education and extended beyond academics as she prayed with and invested in her students and their families. The Lord called Kasey and her family into homeschooling 15 years ago, and since then she has been called to begin her own co-op. She recognized the need for a homeschooling co-op that would reflect her established classroom approach. After much prayer, Kasey and her family felt led by the Lord to take a leap of faith, starting this new endeavor four years ago, with the Lord providing every step of the way.

When we live in close relationship with God, trusting Him through faith in Christ alone, we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. This is the origin of the name “Inspire.” We aim to foster children’s growth in all aspects, spiritually, emotionally, socially, mentally, and physically, within an intentional environment, enabling them to become who God intends them to be when inspired by their relationship with Him.

From prayerful conversation with like-minded families to the doors we hope to open, every step has been marked by the sense that this co-op is not ours, it is His.

Our Vision

A community of homeschool families, grounded in Christian values, offering an education that integrates academic excellence, Biblical teaching, and practical life skills, inspiring children to live out their faith, love learning, and contribute to the world around them.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Our Educational Philosophy

An Education that Forms the Whole Child

Biblical Foundation

The Bible is the core of our day, from morning praise and prayer to weekly scripture memorization.

The Charlotte Mason Way

Short, focused lessons that honor a child’s attention and treat the whole child as a person.

Rich Literature

The best of what has been written, poetry, stories, myths, and the great works of every age.

Narration

Children tell back what they have learned in their own words, deepening understanding through language.

Nature Study

Reverent, careful attention to the works of God’s hands, kept in nature notebooks year-round.

Handicrafts

Real skill in real materials, the hands learn what the mind cannot on its own.

Character & Virtue

We focus on building character through monthly virtue themes incorporating Bible verses to help guide the children’s hearts towards the Lord and foster positive relationships with each other.

Service

We are called to embody Christ’s love through service, visiting neighbors, fixing meals for those in need, participating in community service days, and more.

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
