Navigating the Homeschooling Journey with the All-in-One SchoolhouseTeachers Platform

In today’s ever-changing education landscape, homeschooling continues to grow as families seek flexible, personalized, and faith-based learning options. In this episode of Home School Curious, host Morgan Bergstrom sits down with Kristen, Director of Marketing for SchoolhouseTeachers.com, to talk through the realities of homeschooling and how families can confidently get started—no teaching degree required.

Kristen’s Homeschooling Story

Kristen shares how her background as a high school history teacher (grades 9–12) shaped her family’s decision to homeschool. Wanting to provide a biblical worldview and reduce the challenges of bullying she and her husband experienced in public school, they chose a more intentional learning environment for their children—one built on support, flexibility, and faith.

You Don’t Need a Teaching Degree

Homeschooling can feel intimidating, especially for parents without an education background. Kristen offers reassurance: if you can manage your children and guide their learning, you can homeschool successfully. With the right tools and support, parents can teach confidently while balancing work and family life.

The Role of SchoolhouseTeachers.com

SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers a complete PreK–12 curriculum that allows parents to customize learning by subject and ability level. Whether a child excels in language arts but needs extra help in math—or vice versa—families can mix and match courses to meet individual needs.

One of the platform’s biggest strengths is its parent-led design. Lesson plans and guides are provided, but parents stay in charge of pacing, structure, and approach—making it adaptable for every homeschool style.

Engaging Young Learners

For younger students, hands-on activities and sensory learning bring lessons to life. Kristen shares examples like construction-themed science lessons using vehicles and tactile materials to reinforce foundational concepts through play and exploration.

Supporting Independent Learners

As students grow—often around fifth grade—the curriculum encourages greater independence. Interactive courses allow students to work more autonomously, giving parents flexibility while still staying involved in their child’s education.
