LEARNING BEYOND WALLS! After over 25 combined years in education, there was a moment when our founders, Kim Brubaker and Katie Eisenhour, realized a devastating fact: children spend their days sitting still, memorizing information, and rushing from one assignment to the next — yet they aren’t truly learning.

We wanted something powerfully different. Something richer, more meaningful, and deeply connected to childhood.

That desire led us to create Academy 1776, a project-based farm school.

Education goes beyond textbooks and desks here. Our belief is that children learn best through real-world projects, outdoor exploration, entrepreneurship, hands-on experiences, and meaningful relationships.

Whether they are planting in the garden, caring for animals, building structures, or working together to solve problems, students are actively engaged in learning that feels purposeful and alive. Children need room to wonder, create, and explore to grow into confident individuals who know how to think, not what to think.

The most meaningful learning happens when students are personally invested. Worksheets and computer programs will never foster that kind of investment. However, give students a mission using the same lessons and their learning skyrockets! Project-based learning means that students are given a task to complete or a problem to solve. Through research, trials, lessons, and communication, students develop problem-solving skills, while simultaneously building resilience and strong work ethics. For example, we asked incoming students what they would like to manage on the school farm. Boom! Instant investment! From businesses, turkeys, and a pumpkin patch, they’re already thinking about their goals and how to teach and share it with one another. This is the type of learning children won’t get in a traditional school setting.

Education shouldn’t be about funding and test scores. It should build character, resilience, curiosity, faith, leadership, and a lifelong love of learning. We want students to leave our school not only academically prepared, but also confident, capable, and compassionate young men and women. That is the heart behind our school — and the reason we are so passionate about this journey.

MAKE TIME FOR ONE MORE SUMMER TRIP By: Ladona Weathers, IMO Our pick for a back-to-school getaway is Table Rock Lake. It is close to Springfield, easy to get to and gives families a simple way to enjoy one more trip before the school year begins.

HERE’S WHY TABLE ROCK LAKE IS A SMART CHOICE FOR FAMILIES. 1. START WITH LAKE TIME. Table Rock Lake is the main reason families visit. Plan time for swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking or simply relaxing near the water. The lake stays comfortable for swimming until late September, so families can enjoy the water with smaller lake crowds after the busy summer season.

2. ADD A FEW FAMILY-FRIENDLY STOPS. There are several attractions nearby that work well for kids and families.

Talking Rocks Cavern offers cave tours, gemstone panning, mini golf and nature trails. The Faith, Family & Country Heritage Museum in Branson West gives families a chance to learn more about American history and heritage.

Silver Dollar City is also close to the lake and offers rides, shows, food and fun for all ages.

3. CHOOSE A PLACE TO STAY THAT FITS YOUR FAMILY. Staying a couple nights can make the trip feel less rushed VisitTableRockLake.com lists several types of lodging, including resorts, cabins, condos, vacation homes, campgrounds and houseboats. Families can search for places near the lake, near Silver Dollar City or close to other activities they want to enjoy.

A back-to-school getaway does not have to be complicated. With a little planning, families can enjoy time on the water, explore nearby attractions and make a few more summer memories before the school year begins.

TEACHING KIDS ABOUT MONEY STARTS AT HOME! At AGCU, we believe financial education is one of the most valuable gifts parents can give their children. While we provide financial services for families, our passion goes beyond banking—we want to help the next generation build healthy money habits that last a lifetime.

Many adults can remember their first lesson about money. Maybe it was saving allowance in a piggy bank, earning money through chores, or setting aside funds for something special. Those simple experiences often become the foundation for future financial decisions. One of the easiest ways parents can teach financial responsibility is through four basic concepts: Save, Share, Spend, and Earn.

Saving helps children learn patience and goal setting. Sharing teaches generosity and compassion. Spending wisely encourages thoughtful decisions. Earning helps kids understand the connection between work and reward.

These lessons don’t require complicated budgets or financial expertise. Some of the best conversations happen during everyday moments—at the grocery store, while planning a family outing, or when a child receives birthday money.

Children learn by watching the adults around them. When parents model healthy financial habits and talk openly about money, kids gain confidence and develop skills they can use throughout their lives.

The goal isn’t to raise financial experts overnight. It’s to help children build a strong foundation that will serve them well in the future.
