Vixie Friedman

Since she was a little girl, Vixie Friedman always wanted to be a teacher and lined up her dolls and stuffed animals to compose her classroom. That dream became a reality when she began homeschooling her oldest son in 1988, a journey that continued with her six children until her youngest graduated from their family’s homeschool in 2015.
Vixie has taught in a formal classical education setting since 2008 and assisted with curriculum development and staff training with a classical Christian curriculum company. Classical education continues to be her passion as she observes her students blossom and develop their discussion skills while discussing history and/or literature through Socratic discussions and Socratic Circles.
After graduating with a BS degree in nursing from Western Carolina University, Vixie entered the US Army Nurse Corps, where she was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. This fueled her love of travel and history as she married and left her Army commission to raise a family. She and her husband lived in Germany for nine years and enjoyed traveling throughout Europe, studying the region’s history as they traveled.
These days she continues to travel as she and her husband travel to Israel, Europe, and Africa through their ministry to the Jewish people, Children of Jacob.
She is continuing her education as she takes classes in classical education, history,literature, Russian, and German and enjoys enriching her education through Bible studies, personal reading, traveling, and book clubs. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family, including a growing number of grandchildren, cooking, gardening, and a multitude of crafts.
