Did you know dandelions are edible? Throw some greens on your salad, infuse flowers in a syrup to put over pancakes, or use the root in muffins.

A Christian school can go about being a religious education by including a Bible class and prayer in school. While this is a good start, we do something more.

At Grounded, we teach Bible and practice the truth of Psalm 19 in noticing the glory of our Creator and His care in His design.

Isn't this log stunning in its variation of colors?

As we give attention to nature, math, music, art, history or any other subject we have the opportunity to gain delightful morsels of knowledge while admiring the glory and brilliance of our Creator.

"1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge"

- Have you ever marveled at the mathematical patterns of music?
- Have you ever examined the magnificence of dew or frost delicately covering a few blades of grass?
- Have you ever marveled at the interdependent nature of flower and bee?
- Have you ever noticed the consistency in qualities of an honorable person over the course of history?
