  • Their Needs. Their Pace. Their potential.
    Oct 20 2026

    Renee @reneeuva03 from the movie @thehomeschoolawakening joined us today! She believes that having the ability to customize your child's education is one of the highlights of homeschooling! (We agree🙌)

    She was homeschooled from 7th grade on... before it was popular.

    She served as a campaign manager for a board of Supervisors Candidate at the age of 16!

    She interned on Capitol Hill and had her Bachelor's Degree by age 20.

    Today she talked about how to help kids with special needs, how to embrace their interests and talents to motivate & customize their homeschooling, how she handles hard days, and so much more!

    Don't miss listening to this sage advice!

    And if you haven't seen the movie (no longer in theaters), it is a must-see!

  • A Long Game: The Homeschool Effect (Part 2)
    May 19 2026

    Imagine homeschooling before it was even a "thing": no groups, few resources, and no curriculum fairs. Now toss in 11 children, and you have Annette's journey.

    Annette's mother, Mimo, escaped from Hungary during the final year of the war when the Nazis marched in. Her father, Didi, did not escape immediately; he was held in a prison work camp doing forced labor, rebuilding enemy bridges bombed by the Allies. He eventually escaped to one of Raoul Wallenberg's safe houses, where he went undercover in the resistance. With his blue eyes, blond hair, and a stolen Nazi uniform, he helped secure vital supplies for others. Nazi occupation resulted in the murder of 500,000 Jewish Hungarians.

    Didi left Hungary just before the Russian communists fully took over the government in 1947. Mimo had escaped to the French part of Switzerland in 1944, returned to Hungary after the war, and left not long after her father. She first joined her mother in Paris before moving on to Seattle, Washington, where Didi was studying at the University of Washington.

    Didi and Mimo gave their children a stellar education. Annette went on to earn degrees from both Stanford and Yale. Though Annette's children have accomplished a great deal, she is most proud of the wonderful, well-rounded lives they are living. Her son Corbi attended the US Air Force Academy, and their family now holds the record for the most children from one family to have graduated from Yale and other prestigious schools.

    And you can do it too!

  • Jungle School: How One Family Took Learning Off-Grid in Belize
    Apr 7 2026

    Chrissy and Lance Walker are parents of four and founders of Jade Jungle Resort in Belize, who made a deliberate decision to remove their children from traditional schooling and redesign education around freedom, exploration, and real-world value creation.

    Their homeschool philosophy is child-led and parent-supported, fostering curiosity, ownership, and meaningful contributions from a young age.

    What began out of necessity has become a deeply intentional way of raising capable, purpose-driven kids who don’t wait until adulthood to begin adding value to the world.
