Hey there!

As a home educating parent, I know exactly how it feels to be charting your own path. To be looking for reassurance that you're making the right choices for your children, and to understand what's possible when you step away from the traditional system.

I hear stories every week from parents who've found that clarity through my work. Parents who have used it to build the confidence and trust in themselves to create something beautiful and meaningful for their families.

This is what keeps me pouring my heart into building this library of content - combining my own family's journey with deep research and years of supporting other families in finding their way. When you sign up, your subscription helps fund work that's reaching and impacting families around the world, while giving you immediate access to everything below:

(Subscribe as long as you feel the need to access it all, and cancel any time.)

For just $10USD/month, you'll get:

  • Weekly mini-episodes of The Life Without School Podcast (an audio library that's now over 3 hours long, covering 16 topics and counting) that are only available here. This is a growing library of direct, powerful guidance for every challenge you'll face on this journey. Whether you're having a moment of doubt or looking for inspiration, you'll find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
  • My three-part self-paced course (including downloadable worksheets) that will help you get really clear on how to design the right home education environment for your family.
  • All five of my digital guides that you can download on any device, anywhere (the Grandparent's Guide, to help your parents better understand your home educating decision, is my personal favourite).
  • Over five hours of on-demand masterclasses (three with expert guests) that you can watch anytime.
  • Regular written Q&A posts, where I take reader questions and respond with thoughtful, research-backed answers.
  • Subscriber-exclusive posts and series (like this research-backed post on helping children develop autonomy).
  • Our three complete and fully approved (by the New Zealand Ministry of Education) school exemption applications.
"For anyone on the fence, Issy’s podcasts (full episodes and minis) are pure magic; he’s a huge reason that I had the courage to take the homeschool leap, and he’s the encouraging voice in my ear along the way…best thing I ever signed up for.

And to Issy: I appreciate you and all you share and your wisdom and encouragement so SO very much; thank you for everything you do!"
