Heidi St. John has been married to her husband, Jay, since 1989. They have seven children ranging in age from infant to 19 years and have homeschooled all the way through high school. A favorite conference speaker, Heidi approaches homeschooling with humor and grace at events all across North America.
Heidi is the second of seven children, and the oldest of six sisters. Her heart and passion for people comes across in her writing and speaking—whether you see her at a speaking event or at the grocery store. She's as down-to-earth in person as she is in her books and workshops.
Growing up in Boring, Oregon with six siblings and a cow named Hamburger has proven to be wonderful inspiration for many of Heidi's workshops. Now, with seven children of her own, Heidi brings a heart to encourage and inspire whomever she is with. (And don't worry—you'll get the real story behind the stories!)
Jay and Heidi are also the founders and executive directors of First Class Homeschool Ministries, a parachurch organization dedicated to helping churches start homeschool cooperatives. First Class has been in operation since 2000 and has over 40 locations across North America.
