If you’ve ever wanted to make a game that’s more interactive and has a wider range of features, this is the textbook for you. In his spare time, Andrew enjoys watching Notre Dame football and the Detroit Tigers, playing baseball in a local men’s league, reading (Russian novelists, history, and science fiction are three favorites), hiking with his family, woodworking, and playing board games.Torchlight is back, and it’s time to find the right textbooks for your new video game.Ĭ++ curriculum sheets are available for both Torchlight and Torchlight 2, so if you have both Torchblade and Torchlights, you can make sure you’re getting the right book for your style. Andrew grew up in Okemos, Michigan, a little town near Michigan State University. He most loves the opportunity to serve Christ, children, and parents on a daily basis. He enjoys all aspects of the philosophy, but is especially drawn to the cultivation of a lifelong love of learning, the growth-oriented mindset for the whole community, the healthy approach to work, and the ways that the ideas in the rich texts are life-giving and formative. The longer he spends at Ambleside schools, the more convinced Andrew is that this is the best way to educate children. Through these experiences, a passion for academic and spiritual growth emerged in Andrew. Prior to his work at Ambleside, Andrew was the College Pastor for three years at River Valley Church in Mishawaka, Indiana, while also learning the construction trade (just enough to make him dangerous), and spent formative college summers as a counselor and director at Spring Hill Camps in Evart, Michigan. Andrew received his Bachelors of Arts in History from the University of Notre Dame and met his wife, Joanna, in French class during his senior year. Previously he spent three years as a Junior High teacher at Ambleside Colorado. Andrew Hayes re-joined Ambleside Colorado as Principal in 2016 after serving for two years as Principal at Ambleside Boerne (Texas).

In accord with her vision, Ambleside Schools International created a rich, formative, and deeply satisfying curriculum for students, pre-kindergarten through high school. Charlotte Mason recognized in children a natural hunger to know, a profound craving for relationship with persons present and past, historic and fictional with plants and animals with earth, sea, and sky with great story, poetry, art, and music.
