According to statistics, homeschooling in the United States has increased 74% in the last eight years.
Why? We do not believe that it is because of a lack of faith in our public school systems as much as it is a growing desire to see MORE education and more focus on real issues that will eventually effect the home.
We have toured this country for many years teaching and presenting in thousands of schools and have addressed not only hundreds of thousands of school students but their very concerned parents. Disaster preparedness is always an issue that raises more questions than it provides answers. How do I teach it to my children without frightening them? How do I deal with the tough issues after a disaster? Do I allow my kids to see the news of current disasters? How do I involve them in our planning?
We have found that the world of disaster preparedness is a wide world of educational opportunity filled with science, history, social science, mathematics and literature. It is through this new blog that we intend to provide those tips, stories and insights that we have shared as we toured. Stay tuned here for programs, guides and curriculum additions as well.

Back home


What a tour! We just arrived back home and have already spent HOURS on new stuff!
Faith World Outreach in Bartlett, Illinois hosted one of the best days we have had in a long time and we got to meet a lot of new friends from area homeschool groups!
Guess what? Looks like we are going to have a 2 day homeschool event in September!
Many of the folks that were there at FWO came out to the Sci-Tech Museum in Aurora on Friday to see Dorothy and we had a blast!
We will be keeping you all updated on the new stuff, the new hands-on stuff and hopefully we will be sending out a pdf update.
Thanks to ALL of the homeschoolers for a great time and MANY thanks to Erica who put it all together and was the perfect host!
Check out the TEAM blog on the website for some pics from the tour and we'll try to get some up here as well.
