NAUMS
National Association of University-Model Schools

Naums - The National Association of University-Model Schools

UNIVERSITY-MODEL® SCHOOLS

 

"The University-Model® combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model. The result is quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children. In partnership with one another, parents and the school work together toward a mutual goal: to produce wholesome, competent, and virtuous followers of Christ who will change the world in their generation."   -Dr. John William Turner, Jr.  


NAUMS is the National Association of University-Model® Schools and the concept originated in Texas in 1992.  Today, they are still growing and spreading their unique model by offering parents an alternative to standard education. 


At a University-Model® School the families and school partner together in the academic and spiritual environment by having classes 3 days a week at the Main Campus and 2 days a week at the Home/Satellite Campus.   For Starboard our Main Campus days are Monday, Tuesday & Thursday while our Home/Satellite days are Wednesday & Friday.  Starboard teachers and staff provide parents with the necessary support to ensure successful learning at home.

CORE VALUES OF THE UNIVERSITY-MODEL® SCHOOL

Love & Glorify God

Make Disciples

Pursue Christ-Centered Community

Honor & Invest in Parents

Educated with Excellence

Integrate Home & School

Grow Worldwide
