About Us

Inquisiminds is a secular and safe environment where K-12 students can participate in a variety of academic and enrichment classes to further their educational needs year-round. At Inquisiminds, children may attend one class or several classes centered around their interests and academic goals. We strive to offer the core classes as well as the fun stuff! The director works collaboratively to ensure quality programming in an open and friendly environment and strives to make the center as flexible, relevant, and welcoming as possible to both parents and children. Although we hold our classes at a church, we are a secular academic center that does not teach religion or have it woven into any classes. We are open to all religions and races and enthusiastically welcome all diverse backgrounds.

Director

Hi and welcome to Inquisiminds. My name is Liesel Golden and I am the founder and Director of Inquisiminds. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Systems Management.  After serving over 23 years in the United States Air Force as a Civil Engineering Officer and another 5 years as a civil servant, I retired as a Colonel and started homeschooling my twins. I struggled to find secular, affordable, and quality classes for my children. My children also struggled with learning challenges and finding an inclusive and welcoming environment to learn in. To provide that environment for my kids, I founded Inquisiminds in Feb. 2018, and the first classes were held that summer. Over the past three years, we’ve grown to over 150 students, an academy program for elementary students, and a host of clubs and social events. My twins are now graduating from homeschooling and headed to Radford for nursing and the University of Delaware for Energy and Environmental Policy. It’s possible to homeschool through high school and attend the college of your choice. I’m so proud of them both!
