Fatherheart
Maternity Home is a real home with 12 bedrooms,seven bathrooms,three
fireplaces and two sets of house parents. It's nestled among the
East Texas pine and oak trees on 40 acres in a peaceful country
setting.
The house parents
live in the home with the 20 young moms. Each young woman shares
a bedroom with another expectant mother. Traditional family living
includes having meals as a "family" and attending church
on Sunday morning and evening.
Each young mom
also has a chance to grow emotionally, academically and spiritually
through carefully planned programs. In the afternoons, high school
and middle school students attend our on-site Eagle Charter School,
where they earn fully accredited, transferable credits. Eagle Charter
is accredited with the Texas Educational Agency as a Texas public
school. The self-paced curriculum allows students to complete their
education faster than in the traditional school setting. Students
who struggle academically also have an opportunity to slow down
and bridge gaps that may bring from their earlier educational experiences.
GED and college preparation courses are also available.
Each morning,
the young woman attend Life Skills
and Discipleship classes. All residents attend these
classes together, and different speakers talk about a variety of
subjects. |
