Dr. Seann Dikkers is a husband and father of two homeschool graduates who has spent more than thirty years in education—as a teacher, administrator, professor, pastor, curriculum designer, researcher, and author. He understands both the theory of learning and the daily realities of teaching children at home.
His most recent book, Play More: A Case for Play, offers a thoughtful, biblical framework for understanding play not as a distraction, but as a God-designed engine for deep learning.
At a time when education often feels pressured and performance-driven, Seann makes a compelling case for purposeful, joyful formation.
A committed advocate for faith-based education, balanced digital habits, and individualized instruction, Seann serves as executive director of Portals Education, a K–12 curriculum built around project-based—what he calls “playful”—daily lessons that equip parents to lead with confidence.
If you’ve ever wondered whether rigor and joy can coexist in your homeschool, Seann brings research, experience, and practical insight to the conversation.
