Biology with Sam A.
Hello! I am so excited to be teaching Biology at IHCA! As a homeschool alumnus myself, I always wished there were classes like the ones IHCA are offering when I was in High School and I feel so grateful to be able to offer them to kids in my hometown now! I am a Registered Nurse and all around Science nerd with a passion for Science Education & Literacy. I am currently enrolled at Western Governor’s University continuing my Nursing education. I love to help students connect the dots between the concepts they learn in class and the world around them. I have experience teaching both of my children in home as well as classes at IHC. In my spare time I love launching rockets, building websites (like this one!), quilting and my newest hobby; birdwatching! I can’t wait to bring the exciting world of Science to IHCA!
World History with Rachelle B.
Welcome to IHC Academy, future historians! I am delighted to be offering courses in the social sciences field. As a veteran home educator, I have always explored out-of-the box methods for learning. I have been homeschooling for 15 years, and in that time have taught dozens of co-op classes ranging from preschool art to entrepreneurship. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from IUPUI in History (U.S Concentration) and am currently enrolled in a Master of Arts program in American History from Gettysburg College. My historical interests are in colonial and revolutionary America, history of women and families, and local history. I currently work as a grader through the University of Texas at Austin dual credit program called OnRamps, which allows me to give feedback to high schoolers enrolled in college history courses. I look forward to working with homeschooled students and providing them with a framework that deepens their understanding of the world.
