School Made Simple™ was founded in 1984 by Dr. Edwin C. Myers. Dr. Myers and his wife, Nellie, have developed and expanded our product line over the years. Our brief, potent drills are so effective that they’re called Learning Vitamins™! Ed and Nellie are the grateful parents of twelve home schooled children.
Ed Myers holds the Ph.D. from Carnegie-Mellon University, and the M.A. from Dallas Seminary. A scientist, educator, and musician, Ed designed the optics of the infrared spectrometers for NASA’s Voyager I and II space probes and was listed in "Who's Who in Technology Today". He has taught math and science courses at the university level, performed geophysical research in the petroleum industry, and served in elected office as county commissioner. Ed's favorite pastime is composing and directing choral pieces!
Ed’s wife, Nellie, is a Fine Arts graduate of Emporia State University. Her illustrations have appeared in Teens, The Lamp Post, Young Ambassador, The Dallas Times Herald, and throughout the Learning Vitamins drills. Nellie currently serves as the KS Education Director of the Family Alliance for Christian Temperance. She was happy to be a stay-at-home mom. Now that her kids are grown, her favorite pastime is babysitting the grandkids!
