Homeschool wasn’t always the plan for Shawn and Sonya Hemmings. But when their son’s severe food allergies made regular schooling too much of a risk, Sonya took the advice of her mother, a former teacher, to educate Kellen at home. Now Hemmings teaches her four children –11-year-old Kellen, 9-year-old Kerrick, 6-year-old Kennah and 4-year-old Keillor — at their Chandler home, but they still get a taste of regular schooling with Kyrene’s C.A.S.A.
