Lynda Hansen - Principal/Administrator

Heartland Christian Homeschool Center was conceived in the heart of
Lynda Hansen, who knew many parents desiring to home school their
children. Involved in Christian education for six years and having
home-schooled five children for three years, Lynda was well-acquainted
with the obstacles encountered in home schooling. She knew others
needed help getting started and continuing. Having faith that parents
possess the God-given abilities to train their own children, Lynda set
out to remove these obstacles and open the door for parents to be
successful at home schooling.
