Homeschooling for military families has always been a viable educational option. What are some of the reasons military families homeschool, how do we navigate a PCS (relocation) while homeschooling and how do we get connected at our next duty station? This workshop will arm you, the military family, with the tools to navigate this process with confidence and success.

Many homeschooled graduates have entered military service. You may know about enlistment, but did you know about 4 other routes? These are Military Service Academies, ROTC, Military Colleges, and Reserve/National Guard. Let’s discuss all five of these routes and how to assist your students in determining the right path for them.

As a homeschooling parent you are the teacher and the guidance counselor. This interactive webinar will empower you to fulfill both roles successfully. We will cover how military homeschoolers transition to college, advise on what high school should look like for optimal college admissions options and respond to questions regarding transcripts or diplomas.

Planning high school can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. In this workshop, Natalie Mack walks you through a year-by-year roadmap to homeschool high school with clarity and purpose. Learn how to organize coursework, understand credit requirements, choose electives, and balance life’s curveballs (including PCS moves or caregiving roles). Whether you’re just starting or stuck in the middle, this session offers practical tools to keep your student on track and you feeling empowered.

Creating transcripts. Understanding GPA. Navigating test-optional policies. Applying for college. It’s enough to make any homeschool parent anxious—but it doesn’t have to be that way. In this workshop, Natalie breaks down the essential components of preparing your homeschool student for college admissions. From professional transcript formatting to writing recommendation letters and managing standardized tests (SAT, ACT, CLT), you’ll leave with the tools and confidence to present your student as the capable learner they are.

Are you worried you’re not “qualified” to homeschool high school—or to launch your child to college? You’re not alone. In this encouraging and practical workshop, Natalie shares wisdom gained from graduating all five of her children through homeschooling, each of whom went on to college and beyond. Learn how to start where you are, use resources around you, and let go of perfectionism. You’ll leave with renewed confidence and an actionable plan to begin the journey.

So, you want to play sports in college, but you aren’t sure if homeschoolers are able to do so. Let’s discuss the NCAA eligibility process and the Homeschool Toolkit so you can navigate this process for success.

Academics has its place but extracurriculars add an additional benefit for homeschooled students, especially in the high school years. Highschoolers who are applying for college and scholarships must answer the question – what did you do in addition to getting good grades? This workshop will discuss the value of extracurriculars and offer a view into some of the lesser known but extremely beneficial ones like Congressional Award, Beta Club, and 4-H.

Discover practical strategies and scripture to overcome anxiety while homeschooling. This workshop provides insights into some common fears that we may experience as moms such as homeschool failure, hormonal stress, and biochemical anxiety issues.
