If you have been reading any emails from Illinois Family Institute, you are aware of how nefarious the so-called teaching has become in government schools. The state snapshot (click on Mathematics) for children who met or exceeded proficiency in math is only at 32 percent. You read that right – only 32 percent have met or exceeded math proficiency in their grade! Unacceptable! That means 68 percent are failing.

Children are not being taught academics, but if they were to be tested on their knowledge of what constitutes a homosexual or how to use a condom, they would likely ace that test. They are being indoctrinated, and as bad as things are, certain lawmakers want to make it worse.

Every Christian in the state of Illinois should be disturbed in knowing what the majority of Illinois children are being subjected to. But we are offering a solution! A way to help some children be able to leave that environment and be taught solid academics, but more importantly, eternal Truths.

We want to offer an opportunity to assist in launching Petra, a Christian homeschool co-op in the Freeport, Illinois area. Petra means “The Rock.” The purpose of this co-op is to supplement homeschool instruction with strong high school level academics. All classes follow solid Biblical standards

As a new school, Petra is seeking a $7,000 start-up fund for operational costs, insurance, and classroom and office supplies. Please join IFI in helping to provide a Christ-centered education to high school students in northwest Illinois. Your help will launch a safe Christian environment that is attainable and affordable for families in the Freeport area.

Illinois Family Institute supports Petra and we encourage you to support them as well.

CLICK HERE to make a donation to Petra. Donations to Petra are tax deductible. A receipt showing your tax deductible donation to Petra will come from IFI.

Thank you!
