Originally from New Zealand, Michael & Deidre came to the UK in 2002 and have made the UK their home ever since. They now have three children, Jessica 18, Daniella 16 and Kayden 14 (that’s their ages, not middle names) all of which are God’s work in progress. Being slight outsiders they were not pulled into the ‘children go to school’ cultural norm and, not having any family around, they never asked, so their children never did go to school. Michael remembers telling a friend that they started with the question ‘what type of education?’ rather than the question which most non-Christian and sadly Christian parents ask ‘which school?’ So for them that was a home based Christian education. 14ish years on they continue with God’s help and grace to suppport other Christian Home Educators.
