She and Scott (her husband of 34 years) have three children, Rachel, Anna, and David - all homeschooled from kindergarten through high school graduation; all three now university graduates. As with many homeschooling moms, Janice has worn various related hats - coordinator of a new to homeschooling support group; educational consultant for Westbridge Academy (an umbrella school for home educated, gifted students); administrator of Peoria Co-operative Academy - a history-based unit study co-op and support school offering science labs, choirs, and classes on a variety of subjects; exhibit hall coordinator for the local home school convention. Janice has a B.A. from Phillips University and a M.Ed. from Idaho State University and before her wife, mom and homeschooling careers, worked in student personnel administration at three different universities.
