Education Portals
What if the best learning for our children looks different than what government schools have been presenting for the last sixty years? At Portals we are building new tools for learning at home, in micro-schools, and supporting Christian private education. Let's explore current research, digital media, Biblical wisdom, classical models, and transformative projects for developing a new framework for local learning.

Small School, Big Lessons: Lessons I Learned Starting a Microschool
In this episode, Dr. Seann Dikkers has a conversation with Alfrieda Baldwin—retired attorney and visionary founder of Laurel Community School. What began as a simple act of service in a local school district soon unfolded into a powerful calling: to create a microschool that was rooted in scripture and brought joy back into education. Though the path was not without its challenges, Alfrieda’s journey is a testament to the truth that when God calls you to something, He also equips you for it. Tune in as she shares the wisdom, faith, and resilience that have shaped her extraordinary mission.
