Welcome!
Hi, I'm Jacque Merville, a certified teacher and dedicated homeschool mom. Before becoming a mother, I taught elementary students at a Christian Private School. Through welcoming four children of my own, I've watched my love for teaching grow right along with them over the years. Each of them has unique gifts and abilities, requiring different schooling solutions in different seasons.
With a desire to help families provide their children a quality early education, along with understanding and respect for the individuality and creativity of every child, I have opened up our home to provide local learning support to a small, select group of students. After a thorough interview and matching process to ensure our families are a good fit for each other, I welcome your child into our home between the hours of 9:00 a.m and 3:00 p.m. to learn alongside three of my own children. The result is a small, personal schoolhouse feel, within the comfort of home.
