TRC vectors

GOD'S DIRECTION, YOUR MAGNITUDE

Weekly 15-minute devotions for grades 6-12 | Included with Challenger, Voyager and Pathfinder Homeschool tuition

A vector possesses both direction and magnitude, particularly when it comes to understanding the position of one point in relation to another in space. I selected this name because I believe that, as parents and educators, we have the utmost responsibility to guide our children in aligning their lives with a higher calling and living a purpose-driven life fulfilling God's calling.

TRC Vectors is our faith-integrated character curriculum woven into every Voyager and Pathfinder class. The name comes from a core concept in physics and engineering: a vector has both direction and magnitude. At TRC, we believe God provides the direction—purpose, ethics, and calling—while students bring the magnitude—effort, skill, and perseverance.

Each week, students explore how STEM concepts connect to Scripture and character development:

• Precision & Integrity: Tolerances and significant figures teach attention to detail and honesty in documentation (Colossians 3:23, Proverbs 12:22)
• Iteration & Growth: The design process mirrors spiritual growth—we improve through cycles of testing, failure, and refinement (Philippians 1:6, James 1:2-4)
• Teamwork & Humility: Complex systems require collaboration; no one succeeds alone (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Proverbs 27:17)
• Stewardship & Efficiency: Engineering optimization reflects responsible use of the resources God provides (Matthew 25:14-30)
• Perseverance & Completion: Finishing well matters—in projects and in life (2 Timothy 4:7, Philippians 3:12-14)

TRC Vectors happens mid-class during snack break for Homeschool classes, creating a natural pause for reflection and fellowship. These brief discussions prepare students for the ethical, spiritual, and professional dimensions of engineering work.

TRC Vectors is included at no additional cost for all Challenger and Pathfinder students.
