  • 85. Umbrella Schools, Homeschooling Teens, and Building Community: Interview with Statheros Academy Founder: Colleen Prayne
    Feb 3 2025

    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.

  • 84. Outwitting the Devil through Education
    Jan 27 2025
    I am going to getting hate for this one. Today, we dive into the controversial book "Outwitting the Devil" by Napolean Hill in 1938, but not published until 2011. In this, Hill explores the idea of "drifting" as humans and the roll schools play in the creation of non-thinking drifters. Sit back and have a listen. Agree, disagree...your choice, but it is worth at least discussing.
