Why I Homeschool

Socialization - I want my children to have our values, not the values of strangers (teachers and other children).

More Family Time - We are not at the mercy of the local school district's schedule.

Specialized Education - I am able to meet the needs of both gifted and learning style differences. Teachers must teach to the "middle of the road".

Flexibility - Many aspects of education are started late, like foreign language, or removed, like the arts. We are able to add these as we see fit.

Leadership Education - I offer my children a personalized mentor-based education to introduce them to the world of thinking for themselves -- to be leaders, not followers.

Prov. 22: 6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
