Homeschool Parent Year-Long Mentoring

  • Duration: 25 Hour-Long Meetings (Year Round)
  • Schedule: Fall 2026, Spring 2027
  • Price: $500

Objective

Are you a first-time homeschooling parent, or a veteran who still could use some guidance? Would you like an experienced homeschooling mom to come along beside you for your first year, not only cheering you on with encouragement, but also keeping you accountable and helping you find curriculum and set and meet goals?

Outline

This mentoring package consists of a set of 25 one-hour meetings in which Marie will come along beside a new homeschooling family, presenting a basic outline of the information that every new homeschool family needs, but also customizing the details for each family to support in the ways they need the most. Topics may include educational philosophy, curriculum, assessment, communication, discipline, networking, self-care, re-evaluation, and more! This course will equip even the most inexperienced families to homeschool with confidence.

Instructor

Mrs. Marie MacPherson is completing (summer 2026) an MA in the great books at Memoria College. She has a BA in elementary education with a certification as a Lutheran teacher in the Evangelical Lutheran Synod as well as a classical Lutheran education certificate from the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education. As a homeschool mother with nearly two decades of experience, she has coordinated music camps, art enrichment courses, and speech teams. She is author of several books, including Teaching Your Children Chastity and a two-volume devotional entitled Meditations on the Vocation of Motherhood. Homeschool moms across America have come to Marie for advice, which finally led her to suggest to her husband that they expand their service to their neighbors by establishing Lifelong Lyceum.

Our Unique Approach

  • Supporting families in lifelong learning
  • Offering interactive live sessions through small-audience videoconferencing
  • Teaching according to the classical pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty
  • Cultivating the values of Western civilization: natural law, cardinal and theological virtues, Socratic questioning, syllogistic reasoning
  • Promoting the ideals of America’s founding: representative government and the rule of law for protecting people’s God-given rights to life, liberty, and property
  • Standing on the foundation of the historic Christian faith as taught in Holy Scripture and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Augsburg Confession

Testimonials

Marie MacPherson is an exceptional educator whose passion makes the material engaging, and her calm, kind demeanor has encouraged my son to enjoy and actively participate in class. Most importantly, her instruction is firmly rooted in Scripture and our Lutheran faith. We are blessed to have found Marie and could not have asked for a better experience.

—Natalie, Georgia

Not only does Mrs. MacPherson have a huge breadth of knowledge ranging across many fields, but she possesses that rare gift of being able to impart that knowledge to her students in a meaningful way. My sons marveled at how much they learned in a single course and appreciated the clarity with which complicated ideas were communicated. We will definitely be looking for more classes from Mrs. MacPherson!
