Dive into Katie’s heartfelt journey from public school to homeschooling at age 12. Through initial skepticism and the upheaval of COVID-19, she discovered deeper sibling bonds, self-directed learning, and hands-on passions—from soap-making and science experiments to historical fiction and a Thomas Jefferson Education co-op. By 14, Katie was exploring theater and college courses, transforming her understanding of learning, creativity, and independence. This inspiring story highlights the unexpected freedom and resilience nurtured by homeschooling—and invites listeners to rethink what “school” can be.
