Administration

Dina Fox
CEO & Campus Director
What can we say? She's the one who started it all. Dina founded Class Source to meet the needs she perceived while homeschooling four children of her own. She's now spent over a decade leading Class Source, and building a community for homeschooling families through humble service and quality education. It might be obvious then that she's passionate about community and education. What's less obvious is that she has extensive background working in oral surgery as a nurse, and she's helped deliver more than a dozen babies. I know right?

Debbie Tharp
Marketing Director
Debbie is a homeschool veteran mom of four. She’s been in the Class Source community for 12 years and has been volunteering as the marketing director since 2022. She has an eye for aesthetics and a heart for making things beautiful. You can always count on her to know how to pair trends with class and to know the difference between good tea and hot leaf water.
