Carrie de Francisco is mom to two homeschool graduates who is passionate about helping moms simplify their homeschooling one step at a time, one day at a time, and one cup of coffee at a time. She believes that you can homeschool the high school years (and enjoy it too!). That’s why she’s written Homeschool High School: A Handbook for Christian Education, and I’m so grateful that Carrie is sharing her wisdom with us on The Homeschool Compass Podcast.
You can listen to my conversation on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. And be sure to check our other interviews with amazing guests like Leah Boden, Leslie Martino, Durenda Wilson, and Jennifer Pepito.
