• Following Christ means living His Life and following His commands through the grace of His Spirit

History

Chris & Victoria Lierheimer started Our House Children's Learning Center in 1990. The Lierheimers both taught as certified teachers in the Albany, New York area prior to their return to Colorado. In 1995, the Lierheimers visited Hillsdale College and Hillsdale Academy in Hillsdale, Michigan (www.hillsdale.edu). After extensive talks with the faculty of both the college and the academy, the Lierheimers returned to Evergreen and established Evergreen Academy, basing the school on the Hillsdale model. Currently the two schools serve 160 children in the Evergreen/Conifer area.
