Welcome to our Homeschooling page!

In September 1999 we started Homeschooling. Many thanks to God for Pauline who showed us that Homeschooling would be the BEST choice for our beautiful babies. How wonderful to be able to "train up a child in the way he should go."

We're currently using the Weaver Curriculum, and enjoying every minute!

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