Lori has a deep passion and commitment to family, discipleship, and Biblical living. These passions resonate with the mission of Fully Equipped.
Fully Equipped was created with the mission of encouraging, educating, and inspiring parents as they intentionally homeschool their children. Intentional education is about more than simply lesson planning; it is building up the heart and mind of a child.
Lori has been married to John Lane for 32 years, and they live on a small ranch in the central Rockies of Colorado. They have been home educating their four boys since the fall of 1993. Three of their four boys are homeschool graduates and their youngest son is a senior in high school. They have worked with hundreds of families and their children through church, scouting, theater productions, and home education programs relating to academics and the arts including Artios Academies.
Lori has always been heavily involved with art and education since 1983. She has taught and directed choirs and theater productions in schools, churches, and community theaters. In 1999 she founded Artios Academies, an arts education program designed specifically for homeschoolers. Eventually, Artios Academies expanded to include an accredited academic program which Lori designed based on her experience as an educator and homeschool mom. She has been a speaker at conferences and events and is the author of the book, Beginning With the End in Mind as well as the Artios curriculum including the Artios Home Companion Series.
