About Us

Shepherd’s Heart Enrichment Tutorial Statement of Faith: We believe the Bible to be the only inerrant and infallible Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in One Person; God, the Father, Jesus, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mission Statement: To assist home schooled children and their families by providing quality classes that enrich their education in a safe and loving atmosphere.

Philosophy: Shepherd’s Heart Enrichment Tutorial has been an endeavor obviously blessed by the Lord. We recognize the commitment and demands that are required in homeschooling children. There are occasions when home school parents need time to regroup, rest, reassess, or simply take care of business with less distraction. This tutorial can be an opportunity for participating parents to utilize this much needed time, as well as allow children to participate in a classroom setting to further enhance their home schooling experience.

The continued success of this program is attributed in part to the selfless involvement of our participating families. The desire to become part of Shepherd’s Heart speaks to a family’s commitment to occasionally serve as a support to our teaching staff or other areas of service. The continued success of Shepherd’s Heart is made possible through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our staff and involved parents like you.

History: Shepherd’s Heart Enrichment Tutorial is the inspiration of founder, Laurie Collier Montgomery. When Laurie saw the benefits of the Rutherford County Tutorial for high school students, she recognized the need for a similar enrichment program for home school children in grades K thru 8 in Murfreesboro. Her selfless dedication and commitment to home school excellence gave birth to this program. Since it’s inception in 1994, Shepherd’s Heart is now the oldest home school enrichment program in Rutherford County.

The Board of Directors of Shepherd’s Heart consists of home school parents whose children are actively involved in the program. These volunteer members are dedicated to preserving the integrity of the program, and maintaining all aspects of administrative duties relative to the program in accordance with the Mission Statement and By-Laws. Our current Board of Directors:  Amanda Kelley, Alison Plageman & Kara Prince

Our staff consists of enthusiastic, devoted educators who hold secondary degrees. They are passionate about the Lord, teaching, and our program!
