SPOTLIGHT: Homeschooling, Anchors, and Salty Arrows


Written by Benjamin Smith

David Smith, executive director of IFA, and IFA board chairman Richard Hartian return to Illinois Family Spotlight as we wrap up our series on homeschooling. Joining them again for this final conversation is the well-spoken and delightful trio of Kenna and Eliana Hartian and Jenna Smith.

Richard and David ask several questions of their daughters, and the young women readily respond with wise and thoughtful answers based on their personal experience and knowledge of Scripture. Some of the topics covered include: the differences between homeschool students and public school students, the best reasons for choosing to homeschool, and the overall benefit to family relationships and Christ-like character development that homeschooling fosters.
