Monica Miller
I want every parent to be comfortable and confident in making informed decisions when it comes to their children’s education. I also would like for every child to have positive experiences when it comes to education and learning, keeping in mind that everyone is unique and has great potential.

Ginger Beckstead
I am a homeschool mom to five children, 29 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. I have been a homeschool pioneer since 1982. I am passionate about the role of grandparents in homeschooling. From full-time teaching grandchildren to online classes and camps, I have had wonderful experiences. I believe every child who is in a loving home is primarily homeschooled, even if aided by public or private schools.
