+ leaving space for real-life learning
You’ll receive planning tips and ideas to help you start the new year with clarity and confidence.

Homeschool Q & As
2025-09-25 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Homeschool Curious? Confused? Just Need to Vent? Join our Homeschooling Q&A Zoom Session—where questions are always welcome, curiosity is celebrated, and “silly” questions simply don’t exist (we prefer to call them brilliantly brave).
Whether you’re wondering how to teach fractions without tears, or just need reassurance that your living room counts as a classroom—this is your space.
New homeschoolers, seasoned veterans, and everyone in between—come hang out, ask away, and leave feeling a little more confident (and a lot more supported).
This is for members only. It’s casual, it’s comfy, and yes—lounging while eating a bag of chips is totally acceptable.
