Rivendell Study Center

Mission Statement


Our mission is to support and enhance the efforts of home schooling families by providing classical and Christian tutorial services. Our curriculum utilizes the methodology of the trivium, the educational foundation of our Western culture.

As home educators ourselves, we understand how difficult it is to provide a distinctly Christian and classical education for our children. Even though it is our heart’s desire that they receive this type of excellent education, we find that we may sometimes lack the resources (time and expertise) to offer all of the curricula to all of our children all on our own.

Finally, a viable option exists for Western New York home school families, who would appreciate a classical Christian education for their child. Rivendell, a non-profit Christian and classical study center, assists parents by providing a two day per week tutorial service for grades 1-12. Rivendell students are instructed by tutors in all of the following core subjects: History, Latin, Logic, Writing, and Literature. Students may also elect to take classes in science, math, and other courses which are determined on an annual basis. The other days the students work at home on their assignments under your guidance. It’s no longer all up to you! All of your children are welcome, and you can share in this rich environment with other like-minded families.
 
As a tax-exempt charitable organization, we gladly accept donations and can provide receipts. General fund and Scholarship fund donations are distributed at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
 
We meet at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Tonawanda, NY.
