Testimonials
“Nature Detective for my science-loving 2nd grader was wonderful! As a parent, I appreciated the homework and projects that encouraged responsibility and awareness, including keeping a weather log, a nature journal, and a leaf collection, which they learned to organize scientifically with Latin family, genus, and species names. He also enjoyed multiple local hikes and outside time. It is really cool hearing him use what he learned in class, like identifying trees he sees as we are out and about and noticing weather patterns.”
My son’s review: “We found fossils, it was fun going outside, we made a lot of cool things!”

“This was our first year with the Davidson’s. Kari is very patient, caring and compassionate about her students and teaching them well. My youngest loved his nature class. We highly recommend them both.”
Tara Wadsworth, HEH parent
“Mr. Davidson was one of my favorite teachers. I took one of his history classes, 'Forts and Feathers' in middle school. After that I made sure I was able to take one of his history classes every semester until I graduated. His classes were engaging, full of depth, but also fun!"
— Morgan Hilliard, former student
"This was the first time that my daughter had ever attended co-op classes. I only wish that I would have known about Gary and Kari sooner. They have a true calling to teaching, and it is evident that they have in-depth knowledge and your child’s best interest at heart. They quickly realize your child’s strengths and weaknesses and adapt to their learning styles to ensure that your child remains confident in their abilities and grows in their knowledge of the subject being taught. Your child will leave with a stronger understanding of whatever subject they take and know that they can succeed at whatever they set out to accomplish. They are encouragers, kind, and have been a blessing to not only my daughter, but to me as well."
— Nikki Terry, HEH parent
"My daughter has grown by leaps and bounds in her writing skills thanks to Kari’s IEW writing classes and is looking forward to the next one.
In Gary’s nature class, my daughter participated in multiple hikes and outings to get hands-on experience in identifying and collecting numerous specimens. Gary has such a passion for the outdoors!”

“My parents love home education, and their enthusiasm is contagious. I know this not only as their daughter, but as one who benefited from the multiple organizations, events, and educational experiences they founded, led, and participated in over the years. What's most special about the way my parents approach education is their desire to do more than check boxes. They strive to make learning come alive, helping students develop a love for the subject and an appreciation for how it points to God. As a college graduate, professional writer, teacher, and now a homeschool mom myself, I'm thankful to have parents who instilled a lifelong love of learning early on."

“We have truly loved our learning time with Kari and Gary! We have spent two years so far and will be returning for a third. They are a wealth of knowledge and a delight to work with. Thank you for taking some of the academic load off this mama and for always being such an encouragement on our educational journey. We love the variety of classes and the richness it has brought to our learning.”
— Michelle Myers, HEH parent
"Kari has such a gift when it comes to working with kids. She knows how to take any lesson and make it fun and relatable. Kari is an encourager, building students up and making them feel confident in their abilities. Her vision and enthusiasm are contagious!"
“Gary's influence on me has been far-reaching, from sharing his library and personal historical knowledge with me as a teenager to inspiring my own teens in his various history classes. A teacher with his knowledge and passion is a priceless gift to the homeschool community. He spends countless hours on research and preparation, and the results are amazing!"
