About Us

Our house has been a classroom since 2004.

At the age of four, Carli Freeman officially became a homeschooler. Both Carli and her mom loved the experience, so Carli continued homeschooling through high school. Along the way, she skipped her sophomore year; she became a National Merit Scholar; and she earned a scholarship to attend Fordham University in New York.

Now we're bringing our classroom to your house five days a week.

The Homeschool Express delivers a daily podcast filled with fun facts and bright ideas that every young student deserves to know. Each podcast, which is less than 10 minutes in length, comes with an accompanying blog post that contains bonus content, a quick quiz, and a writing prompt.

Host Carli Freeman is a proud homeschool alum.

Carli is currently a senior at Fordham College Lincoln Center in Manhattan. When she’s not attending classes or creating podcasts, she’s writing, composing, or working long hours in her home studio.

Co-host Criswell Freeman was a homeschool T. A. (when he wasn't writing books).

Criswell served as his wife Angela’s teaching assistant while she homeschooled Carli for a dozen glorious years. In addition to being a homeschool-dad emeritus, Criswell is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, an author, and a partner in Smith-Freeman Publishing. With 30 years experience as an author-publisher, Criswell has over 25 million books in print.
