Gordon Loewen - Northwest

Gordon and Leandra Loewen moved to the Peace Country near Grande Prairie eleven years ago and have loved homeschooling their four remaining children with WISDOM Home Schooling. Gordon graduated from UBC in 2004 with a Bachelor of Education and became a homeschool teacher in BC. Four years ago, Gordon started as a WISDOM facilitator and has enjoyed serving the families of northern Alberta ever since. The Loewen's live on a twelve-acre hobby farm overlooking Bear Lake which is home to goats, chickens, a horse (unfortunately the llama passed away last year) and Corgis. They have enjoyed hosting many different events on their property over the years.

Although Leandra was initially a nurse, she switched from a nursing career to homeschooling 28 years ago. Being a part of homeschool groups and encouraging homeschooling moms and families has been a staple to her life. Regarding their children, two have gone on to get degrees in engineering and teaching, another son has become a medical doctor and the next son is in his fourth year of becoming an accountant. Two daughters have recently attended Bible school while the youngest son is finishing high school with a hope of becoming a dentist. The oldest two children are married and already starting their homeschooling journey with WISDOM with the next generation. Any spare time Gordon & Leandra have is spent either sneaking in some travelling (Leandra recently went to Europe with her daughters for an epic trip staying at YWAM bases) or keeping up with the activities of their seven children and eight grandchildren: whether it’s dating, hosting barn dances or impromptu Bible studies in the living room. Their passion is homeschooling and raising strong, independent, and free-thinking children who will impact their world with zest and wisdom. They are genuinely excited to partner with and support other homeschooling families in their educational journeys as well.
