My husband, Todd, and I have been married for 36 years and began homeschooling our three children in 2004 while living in NW Africa. Our youngest graduated from homeschool in 2019. All three of our children graduated from university and two are married.\u00a0 We have one grandson born in Nov. 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Homeschool was a great way of life for our family. It allowed our kids to grow up together, to know each other well and to develop close relationships. It also allowed us to direct our children&#8217;s schooling and provided time to disciple our children and to see them grow in their faith. Homeschool prepared our three kids well for university and for life after school by helping them to develop self discipline and time management skills. Our youngest remarked while at university, &#8220;I learned how to take ownership of my studies as a homeschool student rather than expecting the teacher to tell me everything I need to know.&#8221; We were able to\u00a0 educate our children in a manner unique to each one.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy helping others as they homeschool whether they are new homeschoolers, in the middle or at the end of their homeschooling journey.

My husband, Todd, and I have been married for 36 years and began homeschooling our three children in 2004 while living in NW Africa. Our youngest graduated from homeschool in 2019. All three of our children graduated from university and two are married.\u00a0 We have one grandson born in Nov. 2024. Homeschool was a great way of life for our family. It allowed our kids to grow up together, to know each other well and to develop close relationships. It also allowed us to direct our children&#8217;s schooling and provided time to disciple our children and to see them grow in their faith. Homeschool prepared our three kids well for university and for life after school by helping them to develop self discipline and time management skills. Our youngest remarked while at university, &#8220;I learned how to take ownership of my studies as a homeschool student rather than expecting the teacher to tell me everything I need to know.&#8221; We were able to\u00a0 educate our children in a manner unique to each one. I enjoy helping others as they homeschool whether they are new homeschoolers, in the middle or at the end of their homeschooling journey. Please contact me with any questions and I will be glad to help.region3@nche.comNorth Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) exists to help parents homeschool with confidence and joy by protecting your right to homeschool, equipping you with resources and encouragement, and connecting you with families and groups across the state.
