Welcome to A Mom, A Microschool, and A Mission, the podcast where homeschooling meets purpose-driven education! Join a mom who values the privilege of homeschooling—not because of finances, but because of the powerful support from family and community that makes it all possible. Together, we explore how to transform education with small classroom sizes, project-based learning, and approaches that celebrate the unique abilities of every child.
