Helpful Links for Home Educators in Columbus, Ohio
 
Our family has decided to embark on a journey that will take us out of Columbus and down to the hills of Southern Ohio.  We believe this move will prove to be a relaxing way of life.  As parents, we look forward to spending more precious time with our children,  since we understand that they will some day soon leave our home for their own.  We hope to provide their teen years with memories of quiet natural surroundings which are our dear Father's creation.  We are thankful for this opportunity that He has provided.

This page will continue to provide Columbus information, but will soon expand to include our new home town contacts and support.
