Jenn MacDonald is a devout mother, homeschooler, and advocate for families. With over two decades of experience homeschooling her own children, she has a deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with raising and educating kids. Jenn's faith in Jesus has been her guiding light through it all, and she is committed to helping families find the same freedom and purpose that she has.
Jenn's homeschooling journey began in 2002, and she has been homeschooling ever since. She graduated four of her five children, who range in age from 27 to 15, and who have a variety of abilities, including Dyslexia and ADHD. Jenn's homeschool follows the classical model, with a four-year cycle for history, literature, religion, and science. She and like-minded moms have offered classes to local homeschooling families in history, literature, and science, covering topics such as Ancients, Middle Ages, Modern World, and America.
Jenn's children are her greatest accomplishment, and she takes pride in their diverse accomplishments. Her oldest daughter is a tutor for students with Dyslexia, while her second daughter created works of music during high school and is now married with two children. Jenn's oldest son is an apprentice plumber, while her next son works with her husband in online marketing. Her youngest son is currently homeschooling high school and taking classes through Jenn's homeschool group.
Jenn is a firm believer in the power of love and never tires of loving, as Saint Mother Teresa said. She has dedicated her life to helping others with the things she struggled with alone. For over a decade, Jenn has been helping homeschool parents by managing support groups, starting and running co-ops, and offering classes on topics such as high school transcript information. With her passion for research and her experience as a homeschooling mom, Jenn is now offering her services to a wider audience, sharing her struggles, research, and experience with others to help them on their own homeschooling journeys.
