FROM HOMESCHOOL TO UNSCHOOL
April 26th, 2026, 8pm-9.30pm (UK time)
With invited guests: Meghan Suniga-Davies & Sue Patterson
Hosted by: Esther Jones and Melissa Crockett-Joyoue
Many parents come to unschooling after first trying a more formal "schoolish" approach to learning at home. We'll be talking about the benefits of an unschooled approach to life beyond school, what that can transition may look like, and ideas to help you navigate the challenges.
GUESTS:
SUE PATTERSON is an unschooling coach, author, and the founder and voice behind Unschooling Mom2Mom. With 30 years of experience—and three now-grown “kids” Sue helps families move away from educational systems that aren’t working, and embrace the principles of unschooling. Through her podcast, courses, private mentoring, and Creating Confidence Membership community, Sue supports parents at every stage of the unschooling journey.
MEGHAN SUNIGA-DAVIES is a parent of grown and teen unschoolers, currently living in Austin, Texas.
