Preamble
Members in the GPA PMA choose to operate pursuant to the Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitutions of the various States of the United States of America, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which guarantees our members the rights of free speech, petition, assembly, and the right to gather together for the lawful purpose of advising and helping one another in asserting our rights under law.
IT IS HEREBY DECLARED that we are exercising our right of “freedom of association” as guaranteed by the 1st and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various State Constitutions. This means that our association activities are restricted to the private domain only.
We proclaim the freedom to choose for ourselves the type of education philosophy that we think best. We encourage our members to perform their own research by studying different educational philosophies for the development of the child.
Specifically, the mission of GPA PMA is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child to grow and to thrive. Through principles inspired by Faith-based enrichment and education, GPA PMA will have a daily rhythm appropriate to the child’s age and development that may include field trips, movement, music, art, health, reading and writing, arithmetic, history and/or science for homeschool children in elementary, intermediate and secondary grades. GPA PMA will utilize Certified tutors, teachers, parent volunteers and other experienced professionals to provide a rich Faith-based inspired learning experience. GPA PMA will recognize any person (irrespective of age, race, creed, gender, sexual orientation or religion) who has been approved as a member and acts in accordance with these principles and policies as a member, and will provide a medium through which its individual members may associate for actuating and bringing to fruition the purposes.
Memorandum of Understanding
I, understand that members and service providers within The GPA PMA are or may not be licensed educators, teachers, or coaches.
I understand that within The GPA PMA a private contractual relationship exists as a contract member-to-member association relationship. I have freely chosen to become a private member of The GPA PMA Education heretofore declared Association and thereby change my legal status as a public person, customer, or client to a private member of The GPA PMA.
I understand that, since The Association is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State Agencies and Authorities concerning any and all complaints or grievances against The Association, any Trustee(s), members or other staff persons. All rights of complaints or grievances will be settled by an Association designee, committee, or tribunal and will be waived by the member for the benefit of The Association and its members. By agreeing to this membership form I agree that I have sought sufficient education to determine that this is the course of action I want to take for myself and my children.
Because the privacy and security of membership records maintained within The Association, which are held to be inviolate by the U.S. Supreme Court, the undersigned member waives HIPAA privacy rights and complaint process. However, any medical or healthcare records kept by members of The Association will be strictly protected and only released upon written request of myself as a member. Medical information will only be released if there is a medical emergency.
I agree that violation of any waivers in this membership contract will result in a no contest legal proceeding against me.
Other aspects of informed consent may take place in my discussions with the providers and my fellow members of The Association. As I am voluntarily choosing this method of enrichment and educational support and service providers, I will not hold The Association or its members financially liable for any particular outcome.
I agree to join the GPA PMA, a private membership association under common law, whose members seek to help each other achieve better health and good quality of life.
My activities within The Association are a private matter that I refuse to share with the State or local Board of Education or other governmental regulatory agency without expressed specific permission. All records and documents remain as property of The Association, even if I receive a copy of them. I fully agree not to pursue any course of legal action against a fellow member of The Association, unless that member has exposed me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil, and upon the recommendation and approval of the Association.
I enter into this agreement of my own free will without any pressure or coercion. I affirm that I do not represent any Local, State or Federal agency whose purpose is to regulate and approve products, services or practices, or to carry out any mission of enforcement, entrapment or investigation. I have read and understood this document, and my questions have been answered fully to my satisfaction. I understand that I can withdraw from this agreement and terminate my membership in this association at any time, and that my membership can and will be revoked if I engage in abusive, violent, menacing, destructive or harassing behavior towards any other member of The Association. These pages consist of the entire agreement for my membership in The Association.
Payment of any dues, fees or program costs, if applicable, and delivery of these signed documents to an Association representative is considered sufficient for my one-time membership contract. Membership Term begins with the start of services received on September 21, 2025 and hereafter are validated by date of this contract.
