About the Instructor

My name is Corey Scott, founder and CEO of The 508 Company. Alongside my wife, we've been married since 2005 and have seven children, all home‑educated since 2006. In 2020, we launched one of Colorado’s largest privately funded, faith-based homeschool enrichment programs, serving over 150 students annually. From that experience, The 508 Company was born—to teach Believers how to start, structure, and operate their 508 ministries correctly.
