For Paul and his wife Mary and their seven adult children, home education – and especially Socratic discussion - has been a way of life for over 30 years. Socratic discussions happen several times every day (during tea times, meals, or while driving) because, as Mary says, "we have a deep commitment to classical education including philosophy and logic. It is a part of our life, every day."
Mary recalls first considering home schooling: "We saw that home schooled children were whole and good and even holy. Home schooling families spent time together and grew together as a family. We wanted that!"
The family enjoys their acreage and being outdoors – hiking, kayaking, canoeing, wilderness camping, trail walking - and Paul and Mary look forward to someday taking an extended Inkling-type walking tour.
The family loves being a part of the WISDOM community: "The experience of home schooling has been a great blessing from God for our family and we hope and pray that it will be a blessing for your family too!"
