The Words of the Brewer Family |
Interested in art? Like to do photography and learn new tricks and tips in Photoshop? Want to chill outside in the summer sun by a wide flowing river? Come on down for a summer of art at Sun Hwa Academy in Highlands, Texas, near Houston. The summer home stay program flows through June, July and August and is open to youth 15 and up. You can come for couple of weeks or stay a couple of months. This is a chance to chillax in a very creative environment. Bring your laptop. We have wifi. Bring your bathing suit. We have beaches and boats. Try your hand at watercolor and calligraphy. Learn to make homemade paper and do paper marbling. Try your hand at throwing clay on a potter's wheel. Enjoy a good movie or two while your at it, or play some games on a lan party. Relax. It's summer! Parents, you deserve a break, too. De-stress for a week or more! Enjoy some home made chocolate chip cookies. The cost is $450 per person for one month -- $250 per person for two weeks (($30 less for each additional person.) That's a pretty cheap vacation! (Note: you still have to help with dishes and cooking. But you get to do it with friends, so its fun!) Boating and shooting are part of the summer fun. Barbeque, good Mexican food, and seafood are mandatory!

Sun Hwa Academy in Texas began May 26, 1996, with two students in my home. Since then it has grown and developed, but the initial concept has remained the same: learning in pursuit of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, centered upon God and True Parents. That is the school’s motto.
In seeking to educate blessed children, there really hasn’t been an existing paradigm adequate for the job. Our mission has been to raise spiritual warriors who can possess True Father’s vision and who have the drive and determination to implement it, and who can create true families.
Our youth need to have Father’s character and vision. They don’t need just faith in God, they need to BE him incarnate on the earth: His arms, His legs, His heart, His mind, His passion, His determination -- all focused on practical strategies that will substantiate the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
True Father said it all in the following words, the core of our educational philosophy:
“The primary purpose of education is to nurture a sincere love for God and all mankind. The second purpose of education is to recreate all mankind into people who know how to love, people who live for the sake of their neighborhood -- people who are even able to love their enemies. The ultimate purpose of True education is creating people who love their nation, that is, people who will devote themselves to searching for God's nation. The foundation for true education is encapsulated in the motto, "Love God, love mankind, love your country." The goal and purpose of our work in the field of education is to establish kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and universities where love for God, mankind and country is nurtured and where people are equipped with knowledge and technical skills as well as good character.”
