Show Notes
Homeschooling high school can feel intimidating — transcripts, SATs, AP classes, college admissions… suddenly the stakes feel higher and many homeschool moms begin to doubt themselves.
In this deeply encouraging episode, Maeve sits down with Dumb Ox Learning founders Jenni Cassidy and Helen Harrold, two Catholic homeschool mothers who, between them, have homeschooled 14 children across the U.S. and Europe and successfully guided them into college, scholarships, and faithful adulthood.
Together they discuss:
- how to homeschool high school without fear
- why homeschoolers actually have a huge advantage
- formation vs. information
- transcripts, AP classes, and scholarships
- preparing teens for college
- balancing academics with family life
- homeschooling multiple ages
- creating a strong Catholic family culture
- helping children become lifelong learners
Most importantly, this episode reminds overwhelmed homeschool parents that the goal is not perfection — it’s raising well-formed children who know, love, and serve God.
Whether you’re approaching high school or still deep in the little years, this conversation will leave you encouraged, peaceful, and newly confident in your homeschool calling.
