Saralyn was first drawn to Classical Conversations in 2010 because it served as a curriculum spine with a Biblical worldview for all subjects and enabled her to educate her many children. Although she knew she wanted to homeschool, she felt weak in certain areas. The community time not only strengthened those areas, but the comradery with other parents made homeschooling fun for her and provided positive peer pressure for her children.
Saralyn’s goal is to equip parents with the tools and confidence to homeschool their children, developing Christian ambassadors who think logically and persuasively in today’s culture. Saralyn lives in beautiful Wears Valley, Tennessee, with her husband Brian, with seven of their ten children still at home.
Erin Dillinger is a mother of two and has homeschooled her children since the beginning. Her oldest son Michael is twenty-two and just graduated with a full-ride from Lee University. He is working on his graduate degree with a full-ride from the University of Oklahoma. Their daughter Joy has also graduated and is attending Pellissippi State Community College, intending to become a PICU nurse or work in Pediatric Oncology.
Erin's goal in homeschooling was to equip her kids with the resources they needed to succeed in life. Homeschooling allowed her to target each area that needed help while not ignoring areas her children thrived. Erin is a great artist, and now that her children have graduated, she teaches art at AMCOG Homeschool coop and intends to start teaching high school classes in the fall of 2023.
