If you spend more than a moment with Julia Nalle, you’ll find that she’s passionate about Christ, her family, adoption and classical home education. Julia and her husband Rob live in a book-filled little house in the woods of central Virginia with their children. Julia has a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and a Master of Arts in Religion with emphasis in Old Testament Studies, Counseling and Pastoral Ministries.
Â
Julia and her husband Rob spend much of their days writing and producing BiblioPlan, a Christian, Classical history and literature curriculum with a Charlotte Mason flair. Julia also teaches at a local co-op, field-testing all their material. In 2010 Julia and her Rob adopted their youngest son from a mental institute in a backwoods village in Eastern Europe. Five years later they adopted another son and in 2017 added a little girl to the family. Adoption upended their lives – bringing chaos, joy, tears, challenges and a clinging to the Savior on a daily basis.
Â
Julia and Rob spend much of their spare hours, when not writing history, passionately advocating for orphans, especially for special needs orphans and supporting adoptive families. Their blog is Micah Six Eight where they share about life with their three special needs treasures and their heart for adoption. With numerous years of experience teaching in classroom settings, homeschooling her own children, tutoring children with special needs and teaching at a co-op, Julia has encountered it all. From the underachieving gifted students to the struggling reader, Julia has learned how to adapt, adjust and creatively engage children on a wide range of spectrum’s. In her sessions she loves to share her heart for Classical/Charlotte Mason styled education while giving numerous practical and easy to implement ways to teach and inspire children.

Helping Mom Craft a Creative and Thoughtfully Designed Curriculum
Is your head spinning with all the homeschooling lingo? Charlotte Mason. Classical. Unschooling. Traditional. Are you trying to pick and choose but don’t know what would be the best fit for your family? Do you tend to lean towards thinking outside the box? Or do you feel stuck in the box without any other options? Come discover why one style does not have to fit all. Depending upon your child’s bent, age, grade, learning challenges or interests, mom can a la carte with purpose. Julia Nalle shares from teaching her own children and through designing the BiblioPlan curriculum that it is possible to thoughtfully pick and choose a little bit of this and a little bit of that – with success.
