Marjorie Impraim
Marjorie Impraim is a homeschool mom to her children and wife to the one of a kind Eric Impraim : ) Together they reside in Maryland, just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay. She has always had a love for math and science and therefore graduated with a B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Maryland at College Park. It was there that she encountered Jesus.
Her coursework testified to the great order of everything from the tiny cell to the massive universe. How could anyone NOT believe in an all-wise God and Creator? After college she started her career as a Research Associate at The Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville, Md. where she and her team sequenced several bacterial genomes used environmentally.
During that time period she began to feel that “oh-so-familiar” tug on her heart to be a full-time wife and mom to her young family. It was during this time that she learned of this movement that was sweeping her area called “homeschooling.” She readied herself by tutoring local college students in Basic College Math, Calculus and Organic Chemistry. As her family grew, she began to teach at and eventually oversee a homeschool coop. She loves to teach about missions, geography, math, and science.
Her other love is teaching small group Women’s Bible studies and engaging in biblical counseling. Together, Eric and Marjorie serve the Lord at their church of over 20 years, Calvary Chapel Breath of Life, where Eric is an associate pastor. In their spare time they do a lot of laughing. Her desire is to see people know Jesus and enjoy Him forever.

Shawn Richardson
I was born in Washington DC. I have been married to my wife Terrica Richardson for 19 years and we have 8 wonderful children. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Coach and Certified Nutritionist. I am CPR/AED Pediatric Certified. I enjoy teaching adults & children how to live healthier lifestyles. I have taught Physical Education for the last 3 years. I was a Den Leader for Cub Scouts for 7 years. I have assisted & coached elementary/middle school soccer with Mt. Oak sports ministry. My Philosophy: I do not perceive Physical Education as an organized recess. My responsibility as a Physical Education teacher is, in my opinion, among the most important in the school. I firmly believe all my students are special and possess a wide variety of talent and skills. It is my mission to expose my students to a wide variety of activities, as to encourage him, or her, to discover and enhance these skills. As a Physical Education Tutor, I will present these activities in a positive and professional manner, as to maximize the self-esteem and the self-confidence of our students. As a result of physical education, our students will learn that physical fitness is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, not only now, but for the rest of their lives.
Throughout the school year, I will treat our students with the utmost respect and courtesy. As a result I expect to be treated in the same manner. While I hold high expectations for our students, I do not expect each student to be the best, but I do expect them to do their best. “In each and every one of us, there is something very special. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a positive difference.”
