The Moore Foundation was a great source of help, guidance and information for me in my early homeschooling years and I feel a great gratitude for all the work and effort they have done in our behalf. Thank you and May God bless the Moore family.
I heard Dr. Moore and his wife speak at a workshop at least 12 years ago. I had never thought of homeschooling my children, but what they said at the workshop convinced me this was what God wanted for our family. I started my first son in Kindergarten and this year he graduated from our Home School and is attending a Community College and transferring to VMI next year. Thank you for your years of knowledge and service. God Bless your family.
