"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. "God commands that our children and grandchildren are faithful in covenant with the Lord. Isaiah 59:21. Do your children proclaim: The Lord is the God of the USA. The USA rejects false gods." said Steven Andrew. Homeschooling is on the rise in Missouri. At least one in 16 school-aged children in the state are homeschooled rather than attending brick-and-mortar schools, according to a new report from the Policy Research in Missouri Education (PRiME) Center at Saint Louis University. Homeschooling rose in popularity amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, those gains remain permanent, the report said. At least 61,000 Missouri students are homeschooled, more than 6% of the state's school-aged child population. That is about the same number of students enrolled in the St. Louis and Kansas City public school districts combined, the release said.
