EXTRA - Apologia publisher purchased by N.C. homeschool leaders

(Special to NCHSN) Apologia Educational Ministries, the publisher of the Apologia Science textbook series, has been purchased by Davis and Rachael Carman of Waxhaw, N.C. Davis serves as administrative vice president with North Carolinians for Home Education. He and his wife Rachael are popular speakers and long term leaders in state and local homeschool circles.

Davis said his plans include expansion of the company's product line to include non-science curriculum as well as other practical and inspirational homeschooling books. Well-known author and speaker Zan Tyler was hired by Davis to acquire authors and be the primary editor. Deborah Bell has already been signed by the company for several books in the coming twelve months. Founder and author Dr. Jay Wile will continue to write and speak for the company's existing line of creation-based science curriculum.

Davis and Rachael will continue to live in Waxhaw, near Charlotte, and maintain the company's publication center in Indiana. They are currently homeschooling their seven children and plan to graduate their oldest next year. (NCHSN Exclusive)
