Late to read? Why that’s not always a problem.
I would like to tell you something about my mother and about me. Homeschooling mothers have to be self-sacrificial, hard-working, and patient. I want to share how these qualities in my mother blessed my life in a particular way. For whatever reason (some people would affix a three or four letter acronym to this), I was just not ready to read when most boys and girls normally learn to read. It wasn’t that she wasn’t trying hard enough, or that she was not qualified (truth be told, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Gordon College, and taught at Winter Park … Continue Reading “Late to read?

You probably believe that any education must stand on the foundation of the gospel – salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. You probably realize how important it is that the next generation – your children – believe the truth and know how to reject the lies of the world. But you might wonder, “Why would … Continue Reading “Why Classical Education?”
A Truly Homeschool Friendly Poetry Course
“What do homeschoolers look for in a video course, or in homeschool curriculum?” This is a question that a lot of publishers of curriculum, especially in the classical education world, have not asked enough. This question is what drives the Roman Roads Media’s vision! The two brothers behind Roman Roads Media were homeschooled in France.

The knowledge they gained homeschooling overseas now … Continue Reading “A Truly Homeschool Friendly Poetry Course”
How did you come to start Roman Roads Media?
A Facebook contact recently asked me about how Roman Roads Media came to be. Here’s what I answered: Good question! In a sense, I’ve been preparing for this job most of my life 🙂 I grew up in France as a missionary kid, and was homeschooled. My mom was a high-school teacher before marrying my dad, and homeschooled all 5 of us kids. Her love for curriculum and books meant we went through lots of different approaches, which included several video courses. Some were great, some were terrible. We later were introduced to Classical Education when my father started a … Continue Reading “How did you come to start Roman Roads Media?”
