Christ at the Center
Faith is not simply another subject added to the school day. A biblical worldview shapes how we understand truth, character, relationships, creation, history, service, and purpose.
A Christian learning pod
A purposeful path for growing minds and faithful hearts.
Diamond’s Path is being thoughtfully developed for families seeking small-group education shaped by biblical truth, meaningful learning, and genuine respect for every child.
Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go.”

The Heart of Diamond’s Path
Diamond’s Path is a Christ-centered, relationship-based learning pod that combines individualized, mastery-based academics with living books, outdoor learning, hands-on exploration, practical life skills, character formation, and intentional Scripture study.
Education is about more than how much information a child can memorize. Children are growing up in a world where technology and AI will increasingly allow them to look up facts, explanations, and answers almost instantly.
But they cannot simply “look up” character, grit, integrity, wisdom, responsibility, practical skills, a deep knowledge of Scripture, or a genuine love for learning.
Those things must be cultivated.
Our goal is not simply to fill children with information. We want to help form children who know how to think, work, serve, create, persevere, ask questions, solve problems, care for others, and walk confidently in the truth of God’s Word.
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”
— Deuteronomy 6:6–7
Our Core Principles
Scripture Hidden in Their Hearts
Students will learn approximately one selected Bible verse each week, continually reviewing previously memorized Scripture so God’s Word becomes something they carry throughout their lives.
Teach the Child, Not Just the Grade Level
Assessments, observation, and ongoing progress monitoring help us determine where a student actually is academically and provide instruction from that point forward.
Mastery Before Movement
Learning is not a race to finish a textbook. When a child needs additional practice, we slow down. When a child demonstrates mastery, we move forward. Curriculum serves the child—not the other way around.
Relationships Matter
Small-group learning allows children to be genuinely known—their strengths, struggles, interests, personalities, and individual learning needs.
Living Books & a Love of Learning
Beautiful stories, meaningful ideas, rich language, biographies, history, Scripture, and living books awaken curiosity. Education should be richer than a stack of worksheets.
Childhood Includes Movement & Creation
Learning does not happen exclusively at a desk. Outdoor exploration, daily movement, nature, art, building, experiments, play, and hands-on experiences are meaningful parts of education.
Character Is Part of the Curriculum
Integrity, kindness, responsibility, perseverance, self-control, service, stewardship, courage, and doing difficult things well are intentionally practiced throughout the school day.
Practical Skills Prepare Children for Life
Age-appropriate cooking, organization, cleaning, creating, problem-solving, caring for belongings, and serving others are valuable parts of a complete education.
Curiosity Is Worth Protecting
Questions are welcomed. When something captures a child’s interest, there is room to explore it more deeply. Our goal is to develop lifelong learners, beyond completing assignments.
The vision
Education that forms more than academic skill.
We envision an intimate learning environment where children are known, challenged, and cared for—where strong foundations and Christian character grow together.
What will guide us
Three enduring commitments
Biblical foundation
God’s truth will shape the program’s values, relationships, and understanding of each child’s worth and purpose.
Intentional learning
Learning will be purposeful and responsive, with room for strong academics, curiosity, conversation, and meaningful practice.
Small-group belonging
A close learning community will help children be genuinely known while building confidence, responsibility, and respect for others.

AreaBased in West Palm Beach · meeting places may vary
Meeting locations may include a home, library, or other suitable community space. The location for each session will be confirmed with enrolled families once program and site requirements are verified.
Our curriculum
Individual levels. Shared discoveries.
Reading, handwriting & writing
UFLI Foundations guides foundational reading and phonics. BJU Press is our handwriting choice. Daily read-alouds and living books enrich language; age-appropriate narration and notebooking gradually develop into independent written composition.
Mathematics
Primary Mathematics 2022 (Singapore Math) with individual placement, concrete materials, visual models, computation, and problem solving. We build understanding and mastery before moving forward.
Science & discovery
Our science curriculum is still being selected. Outdoor observation, nature study, hands-on exploration, experiments, and questions about God’s creation will be important parts of the program.
History & social studies
Notgrass is our selected history/social studies publisher. Living books, historical stories, maps, read-alouds, and hands-on projects bring people and places to life. Course and starting level are confirmed for each learner.
Bible & character
Our Bible curriculum/guide is still being selected. The program will include intentional Bible study, approximately one selected Bible verse each week, and ongoing review of memorized Scripture. Character formation and service are practiced throughout the day.
Art, movement & practical life
Drawing, painting, collage, building, play, and daily movement make room for creativity. Outdoor learning and age-appropriate cooking, organization, caring for belongings, and serving others connect learning with everyday life.
Designed for parent-directed education: Reading and math are taught at each student’s level; shared projects connect the group. Diamond’s Path provides part of a child’s learning. Families manage education outside program hours and the paperwork and annual assessment required by their own enrollment route.
UFLI Foundations, Singapore Math, BJU Press handwriting, and Notgrass history/social studies are selected. Bible and science resources are still being selected. Specific books, starting levels, and individual learning plans are confirmed with each family. Curriculum names do not imply publisher affiliation.
For families
Two enrollment paths, different paperwork.
Palm Beach home education
A parent registers with the school district using a Notice of Intent, keeps an activity log and work samples, and submits an annual evaluation by the registration anniversary. A Florida-certified teacher’s portfolio review is one option; a standardized test is not required for every home education student. FES-UA scholarship families choosing home education follow this district route and confirm their award and payment eligibility with Step Up. Always verify the exact scholarship name before choosing a filing path.
Step Up PEP scholarship
A PEP student is registered with Step Up, not simultaneously in district home education. The parent files an annual Student Learning Plan in EMA and arranges an approved annual assessment for renewal. A family switching from district home education files a termination notice. New PEP applications for 2026–27 are closed; families can watch for the 2027–28 window.
Testing and evaluation fees
External testing, proctoring, and annual home education evaluations are not included in Diamond’s Path tuition or the $250 enrollment fee. Families arrange them with a qualified provider. Eligible scholarship funds may pay for qualifying testing under current Step Up rules and available balance; payment is never automatic. K–2 PEP students cannot use the district end-of-year FAST option, so families should choose an age-appropriate test from the Florida-approved list.
Explore a possible schedule
Our proposed 2026–27 calendar.
This proposal follows most Palm Beach County student holidays and work days, with meetings Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–1:00 PM. December 4–9 is set aside for the NAEYC Early Childhood Education Conference, where Daniela will continue learning about children and education. Final dates remain subject to confirmation.
Proposed meeting No meeting
Key breaks: Thanksgiving Nov 23–27 · NAEYC Early Childhood Education Conference Dec 4–9 · Year-end holidays Dec 24–25 and Dec 31–Jan 1 · Spring break Mar 22–29. Our proposed calendar runs September 1, 2026–June 4, 2027, with meetings during the first week of June. Meetings are proposed for Dec 21–23 and Dec 28–30, replacing most of the district’s usual winter break.
For planning only: This four-day calendar differs from the district’s five-day schedule. Annual tuition is $15,200, payable in ten equal monthly installments of $1,520 from September through June. Scheduled holidays and planned closures are included in that annual price; monthly installments do not change with the number of sessions. Late-entry adjustments and unexpected closures are addressed in the signed agreement.
View official Palm Beach County 2026–27 key dates ↗Emergency and natural-disaster closures: Diamond’s Path will follow Palm Beach County School District closure announcements for emergencies and severe weather. If a meeting location closes independently, families will receive a separate update. Any make-up dates or tuition treatment will be detailed in the enrollment agreement.
Tuition & fees

Clear expectations from the beginning.
Enrollment
Placement will follow a family conversation, review of learner needs, available space, and a signed program agreement. Submission of interest does not guarantee placement.
Payment
Annual tuition is paid in ten equal monthly installments. The signed agreement confirms due dates and any late-entry adjustment. Families remain responsible for balances not paid by an eligible scholarship.
Attendance
Consistent attendance and punctual arrival support the entire group. Tuition reserves a learner’s place and is not reduced for absences or scheduled closures.
Withdrawal
Notice periods, refund terms, conduct expectations, health procedures, and dismissal provisions will appear in the enrollment agreement before families commit.
Future Step Up participation
Working toward a future provider application.
Diamond’s Path is preparing to apply as a Home Education Instructional Program provider for eligible PEP and FES-UA families. Step Up requires a business account, publicly reviewable program descriptions and tuition schedule, and its signed provider participation agreement before service offerings can be approved.
Current status: Diamond’s Path is not yet an approved Step Up provider and scholarship funds cannot currently be used. Approval is not guaranteed. Families should not reserve scholarship funds or rely on reimbursement until Diamond’s Path appears as an active provider in EMA and confirms the eligible services in writing.
If approved in the future, a scholarship may be applied only to eligible, authorized charges. Parents will remain responsible for any tuition, fees, or services not covered by their scholarship.
Built carefully
The vision is clear. The operating details are being verified.
