Sam Sorbo is best known for her work as an international fashion model, Hollywood actress, and wife to 90s Hercules star Kevin Sorbo.
But she temporarily stepped back from her professional career to immerse herself in home educating their three children. Through trial and error, and a lot of research, Sam developed a passion to help parents and their children emancipate from our modern school system.
Sam is now dedicated to encouraging parents to reevaluate their views on schooling while promoting, ‘Happy parents and smart kids build stronger families.’
Sam has several books available to help equip parents to take the leap into homeschooling, including They’re Your Kids.
“You’re training your children in conformity. You’re training them not to speak out when injustice is done.” – Sam Sorbo
