Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Julie Bogart grew up in Southern California and studied history at UCLA, graduating in 1983. Her early adult years included study in France, a summer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and four years living in Morocco, experiences that broadened her interest in language, culture, and education. She later earned a master’s degree in theology from Xavier University in 2007 and taught there as an adjunct professor. Before she became widely known in home education, she built a professional writing life through ghostwriting, freelance work, book editing, senior editorial work for a quarterly industry publication, and a weekly column for United Press International.
