About Us

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 have now graduated from homeschooling and are starting their sophmore year at Shenandoah University 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!
