About Wendy

Wendy Young has a heart for encouraging and helping other homeschool families. She was born in Johannesburg and her family moved around South Africa as she grew up. After school Wendy studied Beauty Therapy. Later she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Geography and Biblical Archaeology & English Literature.

The Young family started the homeschool journey when their first child, Jessica was born. Now, 14 years later and living in Cape Town, Wendy successfully manages to be a supportive wife of 19 years to Gavin; teach her four children, Jessica (14), Jonathan (12), Sarah (10) and David (7); run her home efficiently as well as bless and minister to many homeschool families.

She achieves this through support days, Charlotte Mason workshops, facilitation of e-mail groups, her websites Homeschool Curriculum for Life & www.toddler-activities-at-home.com and educating new homeschoolers through her books, A Living Education, A Handbook for South African Homeschoolers, The Ultimate Homeschooling Mom's Planner, The Ultimate Mom's Meal Planner and her free A Living Education monthly ezine.

She recently created The Ultimate Mom’s Meal Planner Ebook with 3 months of meals and recipes to help moms organise and find freedom in planning for their meals and enjoying being in their kitchen with their children.

Wendy has a natural ability to gather resources, network people and research information. This South African Homeschool Curriculum website is the natural outworking of her expertise combined with her desire to equip others.
