Lauren Bordeaux, one of the founders of HomeschoolHQ, joins Emilie to chat about being a cheerleader for homeschooling, finding great resources and community on the HomeschoolHQ app and they even talk a little bit about "road schooling". This is a fun conversation that you won't want to miss!
Learn more about HomeschoolHQ at https://homeschoolhq.com/.
Instagram: @homeschoolhqapp
X and Facebook: @homeschoolhq
HomeschoolHQ was founded by two homeschooling families who are passionate about making homeschooling accessible to every family.
Lauren Bordeaux, a homeschooling mom of three young children, recognized that homeschooling families in her area often found classes and other resources by word of mouth. She spent too much time searching for activities and knew that there must be a better way to discover what was available in her area. Lauren realized that an app to connect parents with resources could help make homeschooling a reality for more families.
From this simple idea, Lauren and her husband, André, began building the revolutionary HomeschoolHQ app together with their friends, the Statons.Have a question, comment or suggestion for the show? E-mail Emilie at [email protected]. She'd love to hear from you!
