Home School Hybrid?
My academic story really begins with how I learned, not just what I accomplished. I started out in traditional public school, but by around first grade it was clear the pace and structure were not the right fit for how my mind worked. My family pulled me out and transitioned me to homeschooling, which gave me the space to move at my own speed and dig deeply into the subjects that captured my attention. After a stretch of full-time homeschooling, I shifted into a hybrid model through a private school that met on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That arrangement gave me the best of both worlds: the flexibility and depth of homeschooling on the days I was at home, and the structure, accountability, and community of a classroom on the days I was on campus. That foundation is what made everything that followed possible.​​
