HSHSP Ep 156: How to Not Be Intimidated by Homeschooling High School, Interview with Misty Bailey
We are so excited to catch up with our friend, Misty Bailey, as we discuss ways to build confidence for homeschooling high school.
Misty is a mom of 3 homeschoolers from 8th grade/high school down to elementary school. She is also the host of the popular podcast Joyfully Homeschooling and Finding Joy in the Journey blog.
Misty is a pioneer homeschool high schooling mom. Most moms in her area have sent their teens to traditional school at when they start 9th grade. Misty decided to break that mold. She has learned to not be intimidated by homeschooling high school! How did she do it?

- Moms need to like what they are part of and they ARE part of their teens’ homeschool high school programs.
- Get your teens involved.

Misty’s goals for her homeschool high school program is to:
- Give her teens a biblical worldview
