We have the pleasure of speaking with Colleen Prayne, founder of Statheros Academy and host of the Essence of Homeschooling podcast. Colleen shares her heartfelt journey into the world of homeschooling. Our conversation touches on the concept of an umbrella school and how many homeschooling families, including Colleen's, tend to embrace an eclectic approach over time.

Join us as we explore the significance of creating an inclusive homeschool community. Colleen discusses the challenges of feeling like an outsider and the importance of building connections within the homeschooling world. For introverted parents, stepping out of one's comfort zone is essential for the development of their children, and we emphasize the value of not homeschooling alone. We introduce the idea of an umbrella school in the context of Colorado's homeschool laws, offering a supportive structure for families. Our discussion highlights the role of experienced homeschool coaches in providing one-on-one support and services to ensure families feel supported throughout their journey.

In this episode, we also navigate the intricacies of homeschooling through high school and preparing for college. With potential insights from a high school specialist, we discuss handling transcripts, college prep, and admissions, ensuring detailed information and comprehensive course descriptions. We consider the unique experiences and challenges of parenting homeschooled teens, focusing on fostering critical thinking skills and strong, opinionated adults. The conversation also touches on the evolving dynamics of parent-child relationships, particularly as children transition into adulthood. Throughout, we underscore the empowerment and support available within the homeschooling community, reassuring families of their capability to succeed with the right mindset and resources.
