Satellite School

Who We Are

The Good News Christian Satellite School program is a part of the education ministry of Good News Worship Center, Good News Christian School being the other part. GNCS is a Category IV, Church-Related school by virtue of its membership with the Tennessee Association of Non-Public Academic Schools. In accordance with Tennessee State Law, our satellite school program operates as a Church-Related Satellite Homeschool Program of GNCS. As such, certain rules apply to us and to our satellite homeschooling families.

Parents/Guardians must have a High School diploma or G.E.D. to education their children at home. Any parent lacking appropriate education may NOT conduct a satellite school by enrolling in a correspondence school or hiring a tutor. The number of instructional days per school year shall be 180 days with a minimum of 4 hours of instructional time per day.

Our mission is to honor Christ as we provide information, curriculum, various services and advice to any new or veteran homeschooling parent/teacher. We want to help any student who desire an education.

We believe:

God has ordained parents to educate their children. Therefore, parents are responsible to God for the spiritual and academic education of their children. (Deut. 6 and Eph 6:4)

Each child is an individual with different learning styles and capabilities. All children are capable of learning and we must try to bring each child to his/her fullest potential.

All families should have the opportunity to teach their children Christian values while also providing a quality education.

Students should be allowed to progress at a speed that matches their ability, not restricted by rigid schedules.

Home Education is a viable choice to achieve the best education possible for a child.

Parents/Guardians must agree with our Statement of Faith and to having their pastor contacted for a letter of recommendation.
