A Chronicle of our Homeschooling Journey
About Me
- Kanoa
- We are a former homeschooling family from Fauquier County, Virginia, a rural exurb of Washington, D. C. I have a degree in architecture but decided to stay home to raise my children after the birth of my oldest son. Since my sons have graduated, I have been working at a math only tutoring center. In addition to work, I enjoy volunteering in the community. We homeschooled from 2001 to 2019.
