Our Teachers
Mr. Don & Ms. Jessica Korff
“LAMP is a homeschool group, based out of the Schoolcraft/Vicksburg area, that seeks to find and facilitate opportunities for homeschool families in the area. My wife and I started the program ten years ago, after seeing the desire for the “extras” for our four homeschooled kids.
We have been homeschooling over fifteen years now and LAMP has grown to be a very supportive and community-based group that has offered us a lot of the things we could not do at home. Things like gym classes, more in depth art, and even outside, community-based classes like horseback riding, tennis or dance.
LAMP has grown to become that community and facilitator for many of our own activities and friendships…my wife and I simply want to share the opportunity with others if it fits their family’s needs.”-Mr. Don Korff
