Goss Homeschool Academy

The journey continues! I'm so blessed to have another year to plan and home educate two amazing people! We have a wonderful community as well that I'll share a little about in this planning post. For reference, if you are interested in any past planning posts you can visit them here: 2023-2024 , 2022-2023 , 2021-2022 , 2020-2021 , 2019-2020 , 2018-2019 , 2017-2018 , 2016-2017 This is the first year I will have a high schooler!!!
