Acknowledgements

The Mars Hill Academy Board would like to acknowledge all the people who worked so hard to complete this Curriculum Guide. As a small school, just growing from “childhood” through “adolescence,” we did not have the resources to devote a full-time staff member to document, compile, review, and publish this guide. Instead, we asked every one of our teachers and staff members to go beyond their full-time roles to contribute to the completion of the MHA Curriculum Guide. This guide is the product of the entire Mars Hill Academy faculty and staff.

The MHA Board is extremely grateful to every contributor. We are grateful because this guide provides a foundation for further improvement of MHA. We hope it also provides encouragement to other schools that good progress can be made toward recovering the lost tools of learning, without many extra resources.

The MHA Board would also like to thank the Logos School in Moscow, Idaho and the Veritas Academy in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for their inspiration and groundbreaking work on defining a Classical and Christian Curriculum. We have benefited from their examples, which is one of the reasons we have decided to provide the MHA Curriculum Guide freely to any requestor.

The lists below are an attempt to recognize the significant roles played by each contributor.
