Once it came time to enter high school, he began homeschooling once again. From the ages of 10 to 16 he lived in Maryland. In between those years Noah experienced a couple private Christian schools as well as a charter school. He was first home-schooled during his younger years, kindergarten to second grade, and then all throughout high school. Noah has a somewhat unique experience, because he spent a period of time in private schooling as well. Went on to different colleges and careers and became very successful.” “I have many friends whose family went with the traditional style of homeschooling (at home, every day, primarily taught by mom), and all of them
“The outcome of a homeschooler is determined primarily by the amount of effort a parent puts into their education, which is why some parents are good at homeschooling, and some simply aren’t,” Noah said.
