| Founder & Director of Mother of Divine Grace, Laura Berquist is the mother of six and has been homeschooling for the past nineteen years. She is a graduate of Thomas Aquinas College with a degree in Liberal Arts and the author of Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum which she developed by the “trial and error” method. The curriculum she developed turned out to fit the traditional classical curriculum, but is based upon what works with children. Laura is familiar with every aspect of the program, she has worked with families of all ages and sizes, and she has spent many hours helping homeschoolers worldwide. In addition she has also taught children with ADD and both grade school CCD and co-op classes. Laura also gives conference talks and writes articles on her method of education. Laura has been working with Mother of Divine Grace since 1995. |
