The Young Woman's Home & Family Academy

The Homemaker's Calling

Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.Proverbs 31:25

The philosophy

Homemaking is home management.

Homemaking is home management. It is planning, organization, budgeting, cooking, hospitality, safety, and household leadership — not merely cleaning for someone else.

Christian womanhood includes character, service, and family stewardship. It never requires tolerating abuse, coercion, violence, financial control, degradation, sexual pressure, or unsafe behavior.

Serving a family must not require abandoning education, financial knowledge, personal safety, boundaries, talents, goals, health, identity, spiritual growth, or personal responsibility.

Marriage and motherhood are honored as important possible adult callings. Every student is also prepared to function as a competent, responsible adult.

Students are taught to think, plan, prioritize, communicate, make decisions, and solve problems.
