Intro to Us!

Welcome to Missions Academy. I’m a wife to a wonderful husand and mom to three wonderful blessings. My son E is 10, daughter Tae is 6 and daughter A (yaya) is 5. I knew I wanted to homeschool before my oldest child turned one. It’s always been something I knew I would do. I never wanted anyone other than family to look after my child and future children. To this day, only one friend has ever watched (babysat) any of my children and that was only once. Nothing against her but we are very protective of our blessings. Anyhoo, I was able to leave work after my second child was born in 2005 and we’ve been going strong ever since. We’ve always been independent homeschoolers until the 2011-12 school year when we enrolled my son in K12′s virtual academy. What a change. Now as my youngest is reaching compulsory school age, the husband and I have decided it would be a good idea to enroll our daughters in the school as well. After searching many, many blogs and educational resources, I didn’t find many families like mine; Multiple age/grade students all doing online school at home. So, I decided I would start this little blog to document our journey of having multiple students enrolled in a virtual academy. So although the current school year is winding down and E is getting ready to take his very first state assessments, we are preparing to introduce our youngest children to the world of public education… AT HOME!
