The Evergreen Vision Guide is designed to help families, schools, co-ops, and educators prayerfully develop a clear vision for learning—one rooted in relationship with God, others, and the created world. The guide will walk you through creating your own Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Philosophy of Education so that future decisions can be made with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you are educating one child or leading an entire learning community, a clear vision serves as a compass. It helps you evaluate opportunities, navigate challenges, and stay rooted in what matters most.

To develop your family or classroom vision, choose the format that works best for you:

Vision is not something we create once and forget. It is something we return to again and again—especially when we face difficult choices, competing priorities, or new seasons of growth.

The goal isn't to create a perfect statement.

The goal is clarity.
