Virginia Beach woman was home-schooling pioneer
Interested in home schooling? Who can home-school in Virginia?Parents can qualify in one of four ways: Have a high school diploma, be a Virginia-certified teacher, provide a program of study through a correspondence course or distance-learning program, or provide other evidence that they’re able to adequately educate their child.
Does the state tell you what to teach?
No. You can choose whatever curriculum is best for your children.
Do home-school students receive a Virginia state diploma?
No, although local enrichment and co-op programs host graduation ceremonies, and some give their own diplomas.
How do home-school students apply to college?
Most submit transcripts listing their course work and grades, SAT or ACT scores, transcripts from any community college classes, and lists of activities. As early as ninth or 10th grade, students should call the colleges they are interested in attending and find out what courses the schools require for admission and scholarships.
How do I get started?
Check out the Home Educators Association of Virginia (www.heav.org) and the Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (www.vahomeschoolers.org). Or visit Moore Expressions at 6070 Indian River Road in Virginia Beach.
VIRGINIA BEACH
It started with a single word. An expletive that Cherrie Moore's daughter, Joy, learned at school and repeated at a church gathering.
Moore had had enough. She pulled Joy out of the seventh grade and, on a hope and a prayer, started home-schooling the girl.
That was in 1986, when the practice was rare in this corner of Virginia, with few resources and rules. Moore and her tiny crowd of like-minded parents, fearful of the stigma attached to home schooling, wouldn't even take their children to the store during school hours.
Today, home schooling has exploded - more than 3,000 children are schooled at home in South Hampton Roads, by the state's count - and the bookstore that Moore opened in 1987 is the beating heart of the home-school community.
The two go hand-in-hand: As books and resources have become available, more people have been able to home-school, producing a market for publishers to produce curriculum materials.
And in the middle of it all stands Moore. The short, independent-minded and fiercely passionate woman spends her days helping parents find ways of schooling that fit their children's needs.

After the incident in church, she gathered books from Christian schools and started class at home. It was difficult, and it got harder when she became a single parent. Often, her friend Debra Plaster would teach Joy with her own children while Moore

The site, Rare Christian Books (that is to the point) features various books from various Christians from yesteryear ranging from Arminians to Calvinists.
