Mrs. Cindy Beers
Mrs. Cindy Beers has been married for 20 years and has had the blessing of being able to raise my two children: Esther (13) and Joshua (10).

Mrs. Beers has enjoyed meeting all the children she has worked with in the past and look forward to all that God has for her in the future.

GOVERNMENT & ELECTIONS:
During the first quarter, students will explore how government operates as they learn how the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government work together to form a democracy. Class time will be VERY hands-on as students will be creating a student council government for H.S.A. Primary. Students will participate in the election process as they establish this government. It will look something like this:
"We the students of H.S.A., in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility,
promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity will ordain and
establish a constitutional government of the Home School
Academy. This government will be of the students, by the
students, and for the students."
