We are passionate about supporting homeschooling families as they follow their curiosities and become lifelong learners.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>April Huard Bio:</strong> April is currently the Director of Education at Clonlara School, but started her education career as a second-grade teacher in a public school.

April had no idea at the time that homeschooling would turn into a lifelong passion and prepare her for a career at Clonlara School. April and her husband have homeschooled all five of their children at various points during their school years. At Clonlara, April works with on-campus and off-campus students and an amazing global team of passionate educators.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: </strong><a href="WWW.ELEVATINGMOTHERHOOD.COM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>WWW.ELEVATINGMOTHERHOOD.COM</strong></a><strong> </strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Today’s episode is sponsored by <strong>Homeschool Explained</strong>, an online course I created to help parents find their confidence as they begin their homeschool journey.
