Instructors
Shea Lawrence
Shea Lawrence lives in Milford and is blessed to have an amazing family - married 25+ years with four kids and parents who are very supportive. She grew up in Cincinnati, but has lived all over the world including Germany. Her formal schooling includes an international MBA, focused on Finance, IT and German. She has been homeschooling since 2011, inspired by taking her family to a wedding and touring throughout Europe. What an amazing journey God has taken her on! She has taught a variety of classes - babies swimming, maths, science, economics, government and history. She is also an active Realtor, protecting families' money since 2006. The most brilliant thing to her is watching every kid and young adult figure something out for themselves and see the thinking going on, using the gifts that God has given them. It has been an amazing experience to be part of the great community of PATH Homeschoolers.
