About Our Ministry
Rick and Marilyn Boyer are true pioneers of the home education movement. They began teaching the eldest of their fourteen children at home in 1980 and are still actively home schooling their three youngest children today.
Rick and Marilyn have authored several books on home education and Christian parenthood and have spoken at conferences all across America and in several foreign countries. Their books have been translated into a number of foreign languages and have circulated around the world. Their ministry, The Learning Parent, encourages parents through the resources they publish, their speaking ministry, this web site, a monthly newsletter, and their articles, which have been published in several leading home schooling magazines.
Marilyn is always appreciated for her keen and warmhearted insights into parenting while Rick, with his humorous, folksy style has been called "the Will Rogers of the home schooling movement."
"Just a quick note to say how much the homeschool conference meant to me this past weekend.
It reinforced everything we have been feeling God leading us to do this next year. The highlight of the conference for myself was hearing Rick Boyer’s firsthand experiences and advice.
He has so much insight and is very interesting to listen to. I look forward to our adventure!" ~Robyn
