Hip Homeschool Hop: School Names


The Hip Homeschool Hop is hosted by The Homeschool Chick.


I've been trying to think of a name for our homeschool. I've wanted to do this for years, but just never could settle on anything. I want to make ID cards and include the name so I've been asking around to see what others have named their homeschools. Lots of people use Saint names. I just can't decide.

I asked the kids. Nathan wanted something like "Revelations home school ". Because he is a 12 year old boy and revelations is his favorite book of the bible!
Claire wanted to call us the Lake Arlington Lakers because we live near Lake Arlington. :)
Neither choice was what I was looking for. :)

Sunday morning we were running late for church because the kids were arguing over the bathroom. They were quite grumpy at breakfast too. Claire's bangs were crazy from the way she slept on them so I sent the others to the car and took her to comb them down with some water. We finally all got in the car and were off to church. On the way I mention the school naming thing to my husband. His response after that hectic morning? "Why don't you call it St. Jude's school of lost causes?" Ok. that gave us all a good laugh, but still didn't help me find a name!

I thought and thought about it in church. We were praying the holy spirit novena so I thought that might be good either in English or Latin. I also thought about Blessed Mother Home Academy. I told them I liked "home academy". So, on the way home from church Claire (who likes to just spout out things that don't make sense) says, "I know, you could call it 3 pigs in a barn!" Really, Claire??? Well, I had forgotton about her strange suggestion until I walked into the school room yesterday morning. Look what Nathan had written on the board...




I better name our school quick or this is going to stick!


If you homeschool do you have a name for your school?

Haha! So cute! I agree though, you should probably stick to naming your school. :)
