For families that believe education should do more than check boxes
At House of Emet, we put the whole child first – focusing on supporting your child academically, emotionally, and spiritually. As an educator in the public school system for over 10+ years and a parent myself.
I saw firsthand how traditional classrooms often miss the heart of the child, failing to support the creative, imaginative and independent child that you are raising. With an overemphasis on test score performance, large class sizes and a rigid curriculum, children start to lose their spark for learning.
There is a better way.
“Emet is the Hebrew word for truth, and that truth shapes everything we do here: truth about who children are, how they learn best, and what they need to grow with confidence and purpose.”
Learning for the Whole Child
When you know that your child is not being challenged enough or is falling behind, sending your child to school feels hard, and every morning can feel like a battle.
At House of Emet, we do things differently.
With intentional, small class sizes (8-10 children), your child becomes a part of a supportive community with their own unique learning pathway.
Meaningful and practical project-based learning based on your child's interests
A calm environment where your child feels safe to try, fail, and grow on their learning journey.
Your child is free to be themselves, whether they learn best sitting on the floor, without their shoes on or to move around as they think, they are encouraged to learn in their own way.
Students are given the time, guidance, and space to think deeply and ask questions. To help your child build their confidence and decision-making skills to take with them beyond the classroom.
A Faith-Rooted Foundation
House of Emet is a private Christian microschool, grounded in the belief that every child is created with purpose. Faith informs our values, our approach to discipline, and how we care for students — with wisdom, patience, and respect.
While families come from different backgrounds, our foundation remains the same: truth, integrity, and the belief that education should shape both character and competence.
Meet your Teacher - Raj McCowin, founder and lead teacher.
As an educator, I bring a deep commitment to thoughtful instruction, building strong literacy foundations, and creating a safe learning environment that honors how your child actually develops and learns.
My approach to learning is hands-on; I get to know each of my students and create a curriculum that works for them. I work closely with families and remain deeply involved in every aspect of the learning experience.
As House of Emet grows, it will grow carefully and never at the expense of quality, relationships, or its mission of supporting children to become leaders.
House of Emet is more than a school – It is a small community built on trust, truth, and the belief that children flourish when they are truly seen.
If you’re looking for an educational environment where your child is known, challenged, and supported with intention, you’re in the right place.
