About Latter-day Learning
A Brief History of Latter-day Learning
Latterdaylearning.org was created by LDS homeschoolers in partnership with American Heritage School, an LDS-oriented private school of 42 years located in American Fork, Utah. In response to continued requests to make the school’s educational resources available to LDS homeschoolers, the school began work on The Family School in mid-2011. Recognizing distinct differences between the format of classroom instruction and homeschool instruction, the school reached out to hundreds of local LDS homeschoolers through online surveys, homeschool conferences, focus groups, and in-home observations, in order to adequately understand how to go about such a task.
We express deep gratitude to these wonderful women and their tremendous sacrifice; Nannette Wiggins, Jane Mack, Karen Arneson, Nancy Willis, Jolyn Mitchell, Heidi Boden, Debra Otteson, Samantha Hollister, Kristina Law, Jenet Erickson, Jill Bigelow, Kara Davis, Michelle Smith, Michelle Stone, Quinn Curtis, and Jenny Bradshaw.
Watch Jane & Nannette explain How did the idea of a Family School come about? and What is American Heritage School’s role?

I would love to help review your curriculum from the perspective of a mom who has used Terri and Ken Ebert’s-4 Year Plan and THomas Jefferson Education(TJEd). I see yours Scope and sequence is more in depth. I homeschooled my oldest for 5 years. Then made the mistake of putting them in public school for 6 years. In the end he said he knew more from home schooling than public brick and mortar school. I pulled out my youngest children about three years ago from all forms of Public school (brick and mortar and online version). I just wish I would have done it sooner. I have been using the 4 year plan again just picking my own books and using the outline as suggestions and applying TJEd Principles. I enjoy flexibility and ability to work with my husband military deployments and work for the railroad. I volunteer with Box Elder Wildlife Federation (a Local Shooting club), the Boy Scouts (Unit, District and Council) and the VFW (Post, district, State, and national levels). I am still active in things I love and starting a brand new farm from the dirt up. I do love home schoooling my kids and getting to know them better. I hope you will consider me and my children for this service. Thank you. AngelReply – Quote
