Last year, as many families shifted to pandemic schooling, parents found themselves exploring a new role of teacher. As families around the world still grapple with the next steps for their child’s education, a number of families have embraced the homeschool journey. Join this session to hear from two transitioned homeschoolers, Katie and Nicole. They will share their homeschool journey and how they discovered the joys of homeschooling with Sonlight as they went from being pandemic schoolers to official homeschooling families.

Homeschool Mom

Katie is a mom of two school-aged children and a toddler living in Pennsylvania. Her family started homeschooling in July 2020 and fell in love with homeschooling.

Homeschool Mom

Before becoming a homeschooling mom to her three children last year, ages 5-9, Nicole worked in the finance industry utilizing her degree in Accounting. She currently lives with her husband of 15 years and children in Mississippi (moving there last year from Colorado). Homeschool became a real possibility for them when they decided that virtual learning was not the best option for their family. After a close family friend suggested Sonlight and countless hours of research on different programs, they landed on Sonlight. Besides being a wife, mom, daughter, and sister, Nicole runs a youth tackle football program, coaches youth soccer and basketball, has served in different capacities at their church, has been a bible study teacher, enjoys exploring all that the Bible has to teach us about every day life, loves exploring the outdoors, and counts herself as an ice cream expert!
