Join the Club…of Famous Homeschoolers

“All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” – George Washington 

We tend to think of a homeschool education as a relatively new phenomenon, but in reality it is the publicly educated who are the new kids on the block. There’s an old adage that says, “You are known by the company you keep.” If that is true (and we at Homeschool Legacy believe it is) then we homeschoolers are pretty amazing! Check out this “short list” of famous, fellow homeschoolers!
