Laura McWhite To All Instructors
Hi there! I’m Laura McWhite, and my love of teaching started in the front row of my mom’s high school English classroom. I followed in her footsteps with a degree in education from Idaho State University and began teaching English and Journalism at South Fremont Jr. High. But life had other plans—plans that led me to Alaska, to homeschooling, and to a passion I never saw coming.
For the last two decades, I’ve taught literature and history in tight-knit, high-energy classrooms built for home schoolers. My style is part seminar, part book club, and part time machine. We analyze primary sources, read unforgettable stories, write by hand every week, and build personal timelines that help students see the shape of history as it unfolds. I love finding just the right poem to pair with a historical turning point—and watching my students discover that learning can be as rich as a good novel.
Homeschooling is more than a method—it’s a way of life. I know how powerful it can be to choose your own path, set your own schedule, and walk beside your kids as they grow. I’m here to support that journey with classes that are structured, challenging, and full of heart.
My goal is to foster accountability, spark curiosity, and support students as they grow in both skill and character.
