Tapestry University

Tapestry of Grace customers have long described this curriculum not only as K-12, but also as K-Mom. We love to see adults developing as humans, as Christians, and as teachers! Recently, we have made our Teacher Training videos free to all comers. These videos are posted at the bottom of each year page, or you can visit the Tapestry University page to watch them.

Kelly Miller (General Presenter)
Bio

Since her conversion at the age of sixteen, Kelly’s passion and calling has been to serve the Lord as a wife and mother. The Lord saw fit to introduce her to her husband at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, where she earned a B.A. in Religion. She has since added “pastor’s wife” to her calling. Kelly and her husband shared a desire to homeschool their children using a combination of the classical model and Charlotte Mason method with an emphasis on unit studies. Their curriculum choice served their children in the early grammar stage, but after her eldest had spent several years in the public school system due to unexpected family struggles and had asked to return to homeschooling for high school, Kelly realized she needed a stronger academic program. She was invited to join a local co op that was beginning its second year using Tapestry of Grace. How the Lord provided! The Miller family is now entering their sixth year utilizing TOG for their history, geography, and literature studies.

Skills

Through her experience with Tapestry, Kelly has discovered a passion for teaching, especially literature and writing. Her eldest is now a junior at Geneva College, and her other two children are at home. Kelly desires to support families as they seek to follow the Lord’s calling to educate their children.

Sarah White (General Presenter)
Bio

God definitely has a sense of humor in making me a teacher!  I vividly remember telling a friend in high school that I did NOT want to be a teacher when I grew up, in reaction to another day of classes where I observed so many of my peers who didn’t want to learn.  I just couldn’t understand that reaction to school because I really enjoyed, and still do enjoy, learning! 

I don’t really think I understood what I was saying that day however, because I wanted to be a parent and have a lot of kids–I just didn’t want to teach students who didn’t want to learn.  I didn’t realize then that parenting and teaching are synonymous, and God uses our children oftentimes to teach us so much about ourselves.  (Perhaps most often through conflicts about what they do not want to do!) 

Now here we are years later and what do I do but teach my six kids how to learn all about God’s amazing works! It’s been over 21 years since God started my husband and I on this parenting/teaching journey, and I continue to be amazed at all that we get to learn!

Skills
  • Three complete rotations through Tapestry and counting!  (We’re on our 13th year!)
  • Have had children in all four learning levels at the same time
  • Have done/taught every Tapestry subject with my kids as well as other subjects (like French, Latin, Chemistry, Biology, Economics/Personal Finance, and Food Science)
  • Graduated three of my children who have gone on to college, with three still learning at home
  • Helped to prepare my students for successful ACT and Clep testing (multiple History, Literature, Science and Math tests)
  • Helped students with reading difficulties
  • Have the desire to keep learning and to help others, by the grace of God!
