Hello! I am Shary Waller and I have been married to my husband, Ben for 31 years. We moved our family to AZ from Southern California in 2005 and have made it our home ever since. God blessed us with two beautiful daughters. Katie is 27 and lives in North Carolina with her husband, Jared. Anna is 24 and attends ASU's nursing school. She lives in Surprise with her husband, Noah. Ben and I love spending time with our girls and their husbands!

We homeschooled our girls from Kindergarten through high school – a total of 15 years! It was the most rewarding endeavor of our lives and we are so proud of the women our daughters have become. I have been a piano teacher for 30 years, ages 5-adult. God truly provided me with the ability to do something I love and it has greatly helped our family financially through the years. I am also a photographer and often enjoy doing photo shoots.

I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and taught preschool for 10 years before deciding to stay home once we had our first child. I have added the experience of raising and homeschooling children to my teaching and degree experience, and am even more convinced that children are absolutely amazing! I was a Kindergarten Aide last year at Tandem and I am excited for the opportunity to teach elementary science this year! I am looking forward to working with 1 st – 6 th graders as we learn about the wonderful world God has made.

“Don’t dig up in doubt what you have planted in faith” Homeschooling is not the easiest path for educating children, but it is well worth the effort!
