Our journey with SCEE


Southern Cross Educational Enterprises(SCEE) now owns and operates SouthEast Home Education (SEHE), with Greg and April Simon still at the helm, running things from the SCEE office.

For us, we see this as a wonderful development and opportunity to serve our families better than ever.
For SCEE, this is their way of expanding their ministry to homeschoolers.
For our families, this represents a secure, long-term commitment that will outlive Greg and April and ensure that ACE and SCEE products will be available for generations to come.

It isn't always clear where one's path leads - this is where faith comes in. However, it's when you look back that you can see God's hand at work.

Proverbs 16:9 says: "A man's heart devises his way: but the Lord directs his steps."

For all our plans, and all the times we think we're going the wrong way or the right way or we just don't know which way, it's when we look back and see how this led to this and this led to that, and we can appreciate how wonderful and infinitely wise God is - not to mention merciful and patient - when dealing with His people.
We trust you will also look back and marvel at how wonderful are His ways, then look forward with confidence.

God bless your homeschooling journey.
Greg

God’s Love for Us - by Erin Johnson
Convention 2015 (1st place)
 

The splash of the water,
The sound of the birds.
This beautiful weather,
These beautiful words.

The ripple of the wind,
The rustle of the grass. 
This beautiful weather,
The colour of brass.

The swaying of the trees,
The silence of the mountains. 
This beautiful weather,
The youth of fountains.

The magnificent sun,
The rejoicing chorus.
This beautiful weather,
Shows God’s love for us.
