Founders
The seeds for Circle Christian School were planted in 1983 when founders Jim and Linda Werner started homeschooling their oldest child as she began kindergarten. The benefits of parent-directed education were such a blessing that homeschooling quickly became a lifestyle for the young family. Relationships, academics, character development, and life experiences became the four themes upon which they focused their attention.
In 1985 the Werners joined with a small group of families to establish Circle Christian School. In the years that followed Circle has become one of the foremost homeschooling support organizations in the nation.
Today Jim and Linda are continuing to enjoy relationships with their five grown children. Even though their twenty-four year homeschooling journey is complete, they are still passionate to assist other families. Jim is the Administrator. Linda is the Director of Program Development.
