Our Speaker: Donna-Jean Breckenridge

Donna-Jean Breckenridge lives with her family in northern New Jersey. She considers herself blessed to be a founding member of the AmblesideOnline Advisory, the creators and sustainers of the AmblesideOnline curriculum. Donna-Jean homeschooled her four children, and she now homeschools two of her five grandchildren. She is a frequent public speaker, writer (“This Country of Ours – Annotated, Edited, and Updated” and “Six Voices, One Story – The Heart of AmblesideOnline”), and audiobook narrator – yet she considers her most important roles that of Mom, Mom-Mom, and friend. Her heart’s desire is to encourage others that God is safe to trust, no matter what.

Ginger Wayde

Ginger is the grateful wife of Steve Wayde and mom to six amazing kids. Homeschooling for nineteen years has shaped and changed her in ways that nothing else could. Besides learning along with her children, Ginger serves on the CHAP board, hosts the weekly podcast Chattin’ with CHAP, and directs stage productions for the local co-op where they live.
