Our Founder
Paola Ciskanik
This community was founded by Paola Ciskanik, whose journey into Catholic homeschooling began unexpectedly. After a profound reversion to the Catholic faith, Paola found herself discerning how best to educate her growing family. What began as a short-term decision became a 25-year vocation, during which she homeschooled all seven of her children.
Paola created this community to encourage parents, especially mothers, to approach education with freedom, faith, and confidence, trusting in the grace of their yes to marriage, family, and openness to life. While she is no longer the active host, her vision and servant’s heart remain the foundation of this community.
