What Families Say
“I recently got back from this GHC and really enjoyed some sessions by Lisa Nehring of True North academy. She had a lot of great content which combined classical ideals with a firm grasp on where technology, higher ed, and job market is moving. This was very helpful to me (a HSer of 18yrs) as I’ve been floundering a bit recently on how to prepare my kids for the future world. Her approach is definitely Christian with a classical flavor but for the modern world.” – Birchbark, WTM forum
