Johnnie Seago

Director

Teaching Philosophy:

I believe in the absolute authority of the Bible. I believe that all scripture is God breathed, useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16) I believe that training, correcting, rebuking, and teaching of students can and should be done in a grace-filled environment. I believe in looking for the best for each student. I love 'kiddos.' I love the angels...and I love the rascals.

After more than 25 years in education, my goal is for educational and spiritual growth of parents as well as students. I know that God has called parents to lead, teach and guide their own children. I love teaching children, especially my own. I want each parent to experience the thrill of teaching his child to walk, talk, read, think, discuss, pray and make a difference in the culture . I do not want to take that thrill away from any parent; my goal is to enable all parents this opportunity.

I believe that all creation gives glory to the Creator. Therefore, works of literature, art, music and architecture should be presented with Christian principles and philosophies as foundational doctrines.

I love teaching communication skills to other students and desire to see each student communicate in a clear, concise way that others may read, hear and believe.

Ted Seago

Headmaster (North Campus)

Teaching Philosophy:

The art of teaching involves not only a presentation of facts but a connection with a student. This relationship occurs when a teacher goes beyond the lesson plan and seeks to create a learning environment where all the senses are involved. Information presented with creativity, enthusiasm and intrigue captures for a moment the mind of a child, and for many, is stored away to be built upon in future exchanges. Teaching can only be teaching when students are learning so it is incumbent upon every educator to identify those methods and teaching styles that will engage those who sit in our classrooms. It is my desire to seize each teachable moment, utilizing a variety of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic tools.

JoBeth Mathis

Headmaster (West, South, & Northeast Campuses),
Logic Coordinator

Teaching Philosophy:

God has blessed me with 5 children, all home educated through high school, and four of whom have taught PACES PAideia classes. As God brought me to this point, He has given me the desire to guide our students in not only seeing events through a Christian worldview, but to also recognize that the education they are receiving is preparing them for cultural warfare. It is a great pleasure working with these students as they are continually seeing how God is being glorified and how the truth and beauty of His creation is expressed through the art, architecture, music and literature of the periods we are studying.

Melanie Golden
Curriculum Director,
Culturative History Coordinator
Teaching Philosophy:

I love to teach because I love to learn. Few things delight me more than challenging a student with a question and seeing the light of understanding sweep across their face. God has allowed me the privilege of teaching all 3 of my children at home, but in reality, finding that I have in fact become the student. As each day passes, I have come to understand just how much I do not know about my God and the world He created that I live in. I long to know Christ more fully and learn to love Him with all that I am. I am convinced that God created us with minds to learn more about Him, more about the world we live in and ultimately love Him and glorify Him with and through that knowledge.

Erin Lichnovsky

Program Development

Teaching Philosophy:

Difference makers, Influencers, Champions, Generation Joshua….all these terms are the prayer of my heart when it comes to leading my flock. God has blessed our family with six children and one on the way, and I thank Him continually for this immense calling of motherhood. I believe that Jesus knew something we often fail to realize, he had the biggest kingdom impact spending his time with the few….the twelve. It wasn’t the masses who went and changed the world….it was the twelve. Thus discipleship is the drumbeat of our teaching philosophy, both at home and at PACES. I believe that in order for our ‘arrows’ to fly straight and fly FAR, we must break up the fallow ground and nourish the soil where they grow. We set the pace at home by our own diligent study, our teachable spirits, and applying knowledge to our lives on a daily basis. Wisdom and virtue doesn’t just happen to our children, we provide an environment for them to grow and question, and reason, and wrestle with the truths in God’s word. As Johnnie teaches us, we provide a ‘safe place for honest doubt’ in the home and at PACES for our children as they seek to uncover God’s truths in relation to our world and their own lives.

Joey Lichnovsky Science & Math Coordinator
Teaching Philosophy:

Micah 6:8 says “He has shown you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord doth require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly with your God…

I believe that in the field of Math and Science, a quick answer is not as impressive as knowing and understanding the process. I desire to teach, train, and mentor the students God gives me to become thinkers and learn to reason through the process. The ‘How’ and the ‘Why’ is more important than knowing the answer to a problem.

I desire to be used of the Lord to influence others and impact the Kingdom of God. Discipleship is about each one teaching one after being taught by one. “For we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Cor. 4:7
