How to start your homeschool - the right way

Teacher training for homeschool parents

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

The Foundations of Homeschooling Masterclass is nearly six hours of lessons and bonus content designed to guide parents in building a realistic homeschool plan at their own pace.

You will learn how to get started, how to keep a successful program going and what to do if you are ever stumbling. No matter what you do in life, you need training.

We teach you the skills so you don't have to wonder:

Will I mess up my kids

Will I lose my mind?

Where do I start?

Will they fall behind?

Can I really do this?

What do I do?

Which curriculum should I buy?

Meet Judith


As a homeschool parent, Judith knows that we can’t give what we don’t have. She inspires mothers to become whole for the sake of their children and husband. She is a journalist, entrepreneur and regular contributor to children’s publications. She knows that inspiration comes through the art and craft of story-telling and that we all have our own story to craft, live and to tell.

 

She is a homeschool consultant who was homeschooled K through 12th grades and now homeschools her own children - giving her more than 35 years of experience and the advantage of seeing home education through both the child’s perspective and the parent’s. 


She is passionate about teaching women how to rise above depletion so they can give to their families from a life of wholeness. Always forming herself for the sake of the little souls she loves.


Judith is a student of childhood development through the Montessori Method and Catechism of the Good Shepherd. She and her husband founded Sophia Homeschool - an online classroom that offers teacher training to homeschool parents. She discovered that successful homeschooling parents are the ones who invest in their own personal development. That is why she joined the Woman School to serve mothers so they can serve their children from a place of wholeness.

 

Her family belongs to an ancient form of Christianity - Melkite Greek-Catholicism - which is the bedrock of their lives. They share their beautiful story through home ministries and education.

Judith strives to inspire, lead and teach others to intentionally craft their own beautiful life stories. 

What our students are saying about this training...

Genevieve

“As someone who is feeling scattered and a little overwhelmed at the prospect of homeschooling, I found your presentation to be logical, straightforward, and even soothing! “

Lindsey

“My (new) friend Judith Jolma of Sophia homeschool is AMAZING. I'm taking her six week (12 hour) training course and smack dab in the middle and LOVING it. I told [my husband] after the first day that it had ready been weelllll worth the money and commitment.”

Emily

“Three months ago, I did not believe it was possible for me to have discipline, order, and a working schedule in my home with my 4 boys. Thankfully, with God all things are possible! He has used Judith in a big way in my life to get me on the right path on the road to successfully homeschooling my sons.”
