About Us

I understand how terrifying it can be to have a child with incredible potential and know in the still, small places my soul that my decisions would impact the rest of his life.

I remember waking up in a cold sweat with the questions roaring through my brain.

As Oklahoma State University’s first Truman Scholar, she went on to receive a B.S. in Human Development and an M.S. in Family Economics.

She spent a decade with the OSU Cooperative Extension Service as 4-H and Youth Development Specialist and Resource Management Specialist before she became a home educator in 1993. She has been a home school support group leader and conference speaker.

In 2005, Jeannette received the Presidential Scholar Distinguished Teacher Award from the U. S. Department of Education. That same year she founded Aiming Higher Consultants to meet the unique needs of Christian students with big dreams.

Austin Webb has helped blaze new trails for the homeschool community. While in high school, Austin was named the John M. Stalnaker Memorial Merit Scholar (top all around National Merit Scholar in the nation) for 2005 and was selected as a Presidential Scholar. As a junior he attended the highly competitive Research Science Institute at MIT, where he worked on a project in neurobiology which achieved national semi-finalist standing in both the Intel Science Talent Search and the Siemens Westinghouse Competition.

He was accepted to some of the world’s best colleges including Harvard, MIT, Caltech, and the University of Chicago with offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. He attended the California Institute of Technology and graduated with honors in June of 2009 with a B.S. in theoretical computer science.

During his undergraduate career, Austin undertook multiple research projects in areas such as applied math, quantum computing, and computational complexity theory.

Most recently he was awarded a highly competitive Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation to fund his graduate work at the University of Washington where he studies machine learning and algorithms. 

As a consultant, Austin provides his wealth of experience to students interested in the technical fields.
