France Vivenzio has been home schooling for 12 years with a desire to impart to her five sons a love of learning. Though she has a degree in mathematics and enjoys that field, she has developed a great excitement about learning through stories. Over the past six years, she has spent well over 200 hours each year listening to and reading stories with her boys and on her own. Seeing her children inspired to learn more or grasping a difficult issue or even just enjoying great literature, France has become convinced of the power and benefit of stories in education, and it is evident in her children’s enthusiastic participation at GCT. mfv@alum.wpi.edu
