Bryan Hart's mission
is to help develop an educational process that inspires students
to “Lead, Learn, and Live for Christ.” Growing up in Memphis,
TN and in the public educational system, he questioned the
low expectation, factory-like format of modern schooling.
Now, Bryan envisions an educational process that focuses on
enabling youth to develop a strong understanding of their
personal gifts and how to honor God by using those gifts in
business, politics, the church and the family. As a father
of 5 and a coach, speaker, and developer for College Plus
he hopes to help build and spread this vision of revolutionary
education.

Jeff and Amy Minard
are homeschooling their seven children, toddler to seventeen.
While they are far enough down the 'homeschooling road' to have
learned many things that work well (and some that don't), the
beginning days are still fresh in their minds. They hope to
share their enthusiasm for home education with parents who are
just catching the vision for teaching their own children at
home. |
