<div> <p>In episode one of my <em>School Choice Series</em>, Kris Habashy shares her family’s journey from homeschooling to Christian private education. From navigating dyslexia to the challenges of transitioning middle schoolers, Kris offers a heartfelt, honest look at the joys, struggles, and unexpected growth that come with trusting God in your educational choices.</p><p>My hope with this series is to <strong>share a variety of school choice stories</strong> so you can hear different experiences and perspectives. As you listen, I encourage you to <strong>pray and seek God’s guidance</strong>, asking Him to bring to mind exactly what you need to know for your family’s journey. Trust Him to walk <strong>hand in hand with you, year by year</strong>, as you make decisions and navigate each step of your children’s education.
