Juneberry Hill Schoolhouse is a multi-age, full-inclusion one-room schoolhouse where practical life skills, friendships, and character building are emphasized as well as traditional academic curriculum.
Juneberry Hill Schoolhouse is not a homeschool co-op nor is it a traditional private school, but is an education services provider for homeschooling families. Students meet two days per week to learn together under the guidance of a teacher and work the other three days each week at home to receive instruction from their parents.

Marlin and Lisa Miller adopted all four of their children. Their oldest son is on the Autism Spectrum and the three youngest children all have Down syndrome. Their youngest son has Mosaic Down syndrome. A former public school teacher, Lisa has homeschooled their children for many years and doing so continues to serve their family well. However, the Millers also wanted their children to have the chance to learn alongside other students. Marlin and Lisa stepped out in faith to reimagine what home education looks like for their children and built a one-room schoolhouse in their front field.
Inspired by Rory Feek and Hardison Mill School (the one-room schoolhouse he built on his farm for his daughter, Indiana, who has Down syndrome), the Miller family purchased an 1850 one-room schoolhouse from Franklin County, Indiana, to rebuild on their homestead. As an extension of their homeschooling, academic skills are taught alongside practical life skills in the gardens, orchard, barns, and pastures of the homestead. Most important to the Miller family is that the schoolhouse be a place where all students are valued members of the community, whether their needs are unique or typical.
Our schoolhouse is a restored one-room schoolhouse built in 1850. It was originally located in Posey Township, Franklin County, Indiana and was referred to as School No.3. Other names for the school may have included Bull Fork, Griner, Croddy, or Siders School. After the schools were consolidated in the early 1930’s, the schoolhouse was turned into a residence. When the residence was torn down, we purchased what remained of the original frame schoolhouse and had it moved to Mount Hope, Ohio until it was ready to be rebuilt into Juneberry Hill Schoolhouse on our little farm.
