Welcome!

The Lord impressed upon our hearts before we were married to homeschool our children.  We were ignorant, and knew no one else who homeschooled their kids, but we were sure that the Lord wanted it this way, so we started out by learning whatever we could about it. 

We began homeschooling in earnest in 1995 when our daughter, Leah was 4 years old, but our plan had never been to send our children to either private or public school. Now, with Leah done with high school and beginning college, Sarah beginning tenth grade, and Logan in eighth, we think we’ve learned a thing or two, so we’d like to share - and we’d like to help ease fears about homeschooling if possible.  We welcome questions - no question is too small or dumb! 

Just a thing or two that is imperative for those of you who have never homeschooled:

#1. Trust God - it’s His plan. He wouldn’t give you kids you can’t teach.
#2. Know the law - WV law can be found at http://wvhea.org/lawsection.htm
#3. Get wise counsel - ask other homeschooler’s questions
#4. Don’t be afraid- you can do it!!!
