Kelly Stafford has unveiled some promising developments regarding her daughters’ education, focusing on the significant role of faith in their upbringing.
At 36, Stafford revealed that the Los Angeles-based Christian school she has set her sights on for her daughters—twins Sawyer and Chandler (8), Hunter (7), and Tyler (5)—is set to broaden its offerings to encompass education from preschool through 12th grade.
“We hope to enroll all our children there next year,” Stafford shared on her podcast, “The Morning After,” which aired on Thursday, September 26.
Being married to Matthew Stafford, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, has not interfered with her excitement over this educational move.
“I’m thrilled for many reasons,” Kelly remarked. “One major consideration is that living in California, or anywhere in the world for that matter, feels precarious these days; any moment could bring upheaval.”
She elaborated, “I believe it’s vital to provide them with the foundation and values of Christianity on a daily basis, something they can rely on during tough times. That’s why I’m so excited about this opportunity.”
In a discussion on her podcast with her sister, Jenny, Kelly emphasized that sending her daughters to a Christian school would replicate the upbringing they experienced.
“Given the world’s current volatility, it’s essential for them to have the core values provided by Christianity, which is why I’m particularly enthusiastic,” Kelly reiterated.

Nonetheless, the challenging application process left Kelly feeling a bit frazzled.
“This is a sign that I’ve had too many kids,” she lamented. “I had to fill out four applications, which meant providing background details, and it didn’t save the information for each child. Each time, I found myself typing in my college and degree details all over again.”
In a moment of humorous desperation, she confessed to fabricating some of her educational credentials, stating, “Honestly, I can’t even recall what my first degree was in.”
Kelly elaborated that each application required a long list of essays—nine in total—about each child, with an excessive character limit of 4,000 for each.
After managing to complete essays for two of her daughters independently, she sought assistance.
“While sitting at volleyball practice, I asked myself, ‘Why am I doing this?’” Kelly reflected. “ChatGPT would surely do a better job with Hunter and Tyler’s essays. They’re much more engaging than Chandler and Sawyer’s.”
“The admissions committee is going to read these and think, ‘This is intriguing,’” she added, clearly amused by her creative dilemma.
