Danielle Warmuth

Danielle Warmuth has been homeschooling for 21 years and has three children, ages 30, 27, and Andrew, age 14 (PWS). She served as Secretary for the Prader-Willi syndrome, Indiana Chapter for 10 years. She is a multidisciplinary major in International Studies from Michigan State University, holds minors in Earth Sciences, Archaeology, and Anthropology, and speaks French and Japanese. Danielle retired from the airlines in 2012 to stay home with Andrew. Together, they co-author the website Moving Mountains Daily. It was a homeschool project that grew way beyond what they intended! Outside the classroom, exercise and life adventures are a big part of their school day. Experiences like hospital stays, learning to pump gas, scouting, living with the nomads in Mongolia, or watching a flatboat navigate the Ohio River locks all count as “school.” Their family life motto is “Progress not Perfection.”
