Hi, I’m heather woodie.

I’m a retired homeschooling mom of 4 and like you, I was often left wondering how I was going to get our four amazing, out-of-the-box teens ready to fulfill their life’s dreams.

Add in chronic illnesses, ADHD, ASD with pathological demand avoidance, depression, and anxiety, along with gifted learners, and whew! Things were just plain hard sometimes.

Here’s What I Discovered:

You CAN homeschool out-of-the-box teens, whether they have a diagnosis or not, with a confidence that brings you peace- and allows your teen to thrive.

…and to help you package that experience for college admissions.

Join the hundreds of moms just like you who have created a high school program perfect for their out-of-the-box teens and participated in the support they needed for the journey.
