Teaching Toward Eternity
Meet Jennifer
Catholic Homeschool Advocate
Welcome to Teaching Toward Eternity! In this space you will find encouragement for your homeschooling journey. The name of this site was chosen because of Jennifer’s belief that our ultimate goal in educating our children is bigger than the day-to-day lessons. The goal is about getting their souls to Heaven one day. In a world with so much confusion and upside-down morals and values this is extremely challenging to do. In an effort to be louder than the world, Jennifer and her husband have chosen the path of homeschooling their children. With more than 25 years of homeschooling experience, as well as being active in various leadership rolls in homeschool communities, and homeschool consulting, Jennifer’s mission is to provide support to her readers in helping them persevere as they navigate their homeschooling years.
"Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children."
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2223.
"Jen has been an invaluable resource person over many years of homeschooling. She has encouraged me when I was struggling, reached out to other young moms to show them the ropes, and taken leadership positions in our local homeschool community to foster growth and opportunities for homeschooling families! She’s a godsend!"

"She is so genuine, kindhearted and knowledgeable and she just loves to share her wisdom and help others! I will never forget how she was there for me when I was just starting out. I had only reached out to her via email, I don't think we had even officially met, and yet she took the time to encourage me, answer all my questions and share tons of resources. I felt like I could ask her anything and she would truly care and share her wisdom and understanding. That’s just the kind of person she is- truly caring! I was fortunate enough to hear her speak at our workshop recently and wow, she really sees the big picture. She gets right to the heart of why we homeschool and how valuable it is. I wish every homeschooler could have heard what she had to say. I’m so blessed to know her!
Thank you Jen! You are a gift to the homeschooling world!"
