Illinois Family Institute is pleased to announce that we are partnering with Garritt and Yvette Hampton, producers and hosts of a new feature-length documentary titled Schoolhouse Rocked: the Homeschool Revolution. During the first week of May, we are scheduled to show this film at four locations in central Illinois and the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

This film examines the incredible growth of homeschooling and why thousands of families across the country are choosing this path for their children’s education. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about education choice and homeschooling, and talk to the creative couple behind this documentary. Join us at one of the following locations:

Schoolhouse Rocked is impacting countless lives by…

• Encouraging families who aren’t yet homeschooling to dive in!
• Bringing much-needed encouragement and resources to current homeschool families so they will stay the course.
• Breaking down the misconceptions and negative stereotypes that many people believe about homeschooling.

ABOUT THE FILM

Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution break down common misconceptions about homeschooling, encourages a flood of new families to homeschool, and equips those already homeschooling to do it with excellence. The film follows host, Yvette Hampton, as she travels the country with her family, meeting other homeschoolers and education experts in an effort to learn the secrets of successful homeschooling and to tell the story of the millions of people who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution. As viewers follow Yvette on this journey and share in her challenges and victories, they will gather the necessary resources and encouragement to homeschool with excellence — to start strong and finish well!

“This is not an exaggeration to say, this is the movement that is needed to save this country.” ~Rick Green, Wallbuilders

A FILM FOR HOMESCHOOLERS, BY HOMESCHOOLERS!

Schoolhouse Rocked was directed by Garritt Hampton, a movie industry veteran with credits on some of the biggest films of the last decade (films like Interstellar, Furious 7, TRON: Legacy, and GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra).  The film was produced by his wife Yvette, a homeschool mom through and through, though she didn’t plan it that way. Like so many other homeschoolers, Garritt and Yvette said they would NEVER homeschool their kids, but God had other plans.

In the fall of 2016, Garritt and Yvette sold their home and almost all of their possessions, loaded their family up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the stories of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution.

Yvette and Garritt have been married since 1995. They have two daughters, Brooklyn and Lacey, who they have homeschooled since the very beginning.
