150. International Homeschooling with Jenni Cassidy of Dumb Ox Learning

The Deliberate Day Podcast | Taming the chaos of big family life for moms of many

Have you ever considered what homeschooling might look like in another country?

Here in the U.S., laws can vary dramatically from state to state, and so can opportunities for learning and enrichment. Can you imagine how that might look on an international scale?

Well, our guest, Jenni Cassidy can! She's a wife, mother to 7 (including 5 graduates), and she lives and homeschools her youngest two children in the UK! She's also the co-director of Dumb Ox Learning AND she's a consultant for Mother of Divine Grace!

• More about Jenni Cassidy

There is another homeschool mom just like Jenni, a fellow mother of 7 and Mother of Divine Grace consultant, who Jenni met in Austria. They discovered that to continue with further education in the U.K., children need to do the exams that kids do in school (which homeschoolers really don’t want to do).

So, Helen (the co-owner of Dumb Ox Learning), discovered that if you have an American high school diploma and a combination of AP courses and/or SAT scores, you CAN be accepted into a university in the U.K. Many people are unaware of this!

Helen began teaching AP classes, and it just took off from there! Jenni takes care of the artistic side of the business, and Helen does some of the teaching (and they’ve recruited other teachers).

Starting in September (of what will be their second full year), Dumb Ox Learning will be offering 10 AP courses, they offer some GCSE’s, SAT prep courses, and enrichment courses (for supplements). All the teachers are Catholic (although the AP courses are secular).

Dumb Ox Learning includes a mix of both international teachers and students. Book clubs begin as young as 5 years old, and other classes go up from there. To learn more and see which classes will be offered this fall head to Dumb Ox Learning. Check out Dumb Ox Learning on Instagram.
