About the Director

Hi, my name is Shellie, and I was once anti-homeschooling! After marrying my best friend in 2005, battling a decade of infertility, surviving and laughing through life’s ups and downs, we assumed raising our children would be a simple path of traditional schooling and social events. However, God had something different in our story….

It’s amazing how a simple friendship and series of conversations can change your world. My full story is on the blog, but please know I jumped into homeschooling our daughter without knowing anything about what to do day to day. I’m always learning…

When I taught 8 years of middle school, I always felt the best teachers were not the ones who had all the right answers- the best teachers were the ones who cared the most for their students and showed it….who cares most for your student?

You are qualified to teach your student(s)!

Not all traditions are worth continuing.

Sometimes new traditions are worth beginning.
