AME Program


Many parents and students are discovering that most modern education systems are inadequate in preparing young people for their professional career. This discovery is leading many back to the age-old, tried-and-true method of an apprentice working alongside a master in a trade.

Christian Home Educators of Colorado, which serves at least 45,000 homeschooled students across the Rocky Mountain Region, desires to promote life-preparation opportunities for students beyond K-12 education that will adequately prepare them for the calling God has upon their lives and thereby impacting the world for Christ.
How does AME work?

Let’s say a homeschool graduate at age 17 or 18 wants to become a civil engineer. What should he do? At AME, we think the first step is to find a godly, experience civil engineer that that young man can work alongside in a mentorship. Maybe he works in a part-time mentorship under than engineer as he pursues formal study at a college at the same time. Maybe he works side by side with that engineer full time for the next 4 years until he eventually starts up on his own or joins that engineer’s business. Maybe the young man realizes that civil engineering wasn’t what he was looking for after all (and it didn’t take him 4 years of college and $150,000 to figure it out)!

No matter which way you approach it, the young man has a chance to experience the real-life business world, and be trained by an experienced master who will focus on his character, skills, and understanding of the business, not just his academics. It’s the tried-and-true method of learning that many of America’s founding fathers used, and it’s working again today.

Get started TODAY!
