Martin and Carolyn Forte, founders of Excellence in Education, (EIE), the largest homeschool book store and resource center in California, are true pioneers of homeschooling. Carolyn was a classroom teacher for 5 years, which convinced her to homeschool her own children. The Forte girls have grown into successful parents and professionals in their own right. Mom, Carolyn, has developed a complete curriculum using games as the medium of study. She is a philosophical well-spring, with new thoughts and observations at least weekly! If you live in Southern California, visit their store in Monrovia, just off the 10 Freeway and spend a few hours!
