Ellen and her husband Charlie have been actively involved in homeschool education for several years, helping to guide other families in the journey of homeschooling. Through the classical model of education, Ellen has been able to provide her four children with an education where they can marvel at God's creation, learn to effectively communicate through the written and spoken word, and shine brightly for Jesus. On this journey of classical homeschooling, she realized how much support she needed as a parent and teacher. The classical homeschool community has given her a renewed love of learning, and vision for her children’s education.
