After thirty-six years of teaching in public school systems in Mississippi and Texas, Garrett now eagerly desires to serve homeschool students and parents in the Northwest Houston area.

Services available to homeschool students and parents in the Tomball, Magnolia, Spring, and The Woodlands areas north of Houston, TX

Mr. John Garrett's desire is to serve the area homeschool community with professionalism, expertise, and passion in order to continue in obedience to God's call on his life. As a high school student, God called him into teaching, not only as his profession but also as God's divine mission to fulfil His purpose in Mr. Garrett.

In fact, Garrett is, himself, a homeschool dad. He and his wife Susan have homeschooled their own children since first grade. Their older son has now graduated from high school and is living on his own, and their sixteen-year-old son is now a tenth grader taking several courses with HIS Classes in both Tomball and The Woodlands.
