Amy Sloan and her husband John are 2nd-generation homeschoolers to five children from 8 to 18 years old, including a new homeschool graduate! The Sloan family adventures together in NC where they pursue a restfully-classical education filled with books, conversation, and not-so-occasional nerdiness. If you hang out with her for any length of time you’ll quickly learn that she loves overflowing book stacks, giant mugs of coffee, beautiful memory work, and silly memes. At any moment she could break into song and dance from 90s country music or Shakespeare. Amy encourages homeschoolers through her “Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology” podcast.
