From the early days of marriage and family to founding Sweet Potato Academy, Greater Baton Rouge has been our home. We have chosen to begin our lives here and we have chosen to homeschool. The abounding academic options in the area are a blessing to its residents, making Greater Baton Rouge a welcoming home for Sweet Potato Academy too. Additionally, the families of Greater Baton Rouge are special to us.
