what past attendees are saying

about the simplified homeschool summit

  • This has been INCREDIBLE. This seminar. I’ve been so stinking blessed by all of it.

  • It was the encouragement and validation that I didn’t know I needed. What a blessing.

  • I just want to express how grateful I am for all of the things you put in this summit! It truly was such a blessing for me.
Create a reading-rich year for your homeschoolers. Learn how to source wholesome, living books for your homeschooler. Learn which books are twaddle and not worthy to be read by your homeschooler.

Creating an intentional, consistent homeschool takes a whole lot more than buying the right curriculum or following someone else’s schedule.

And, let’s face it—

You’re getting a lot of things right already:
  • You care deeply about your kids and their education.
  • You’re showing up day after day, even when it feels hard.
  • You’re researching, planning, adjusting, and trying again.
  • You’re doing your best to make homeschool work for your family.

But, despite all of that effort, homeschooling can still feel heavy at times.

Maybe right now you’re…

Overwhelmed

Feeling overwhelmed by all the options and opinions.

Struggling

Struggling to stay consistent when life gets busy.

Wondering

Wondering if you’re doing “enough” or doing it “right”.

Frustrated

Feeling frustrated when your kids learn differently or have learning challenges or disabilities.

Stuck

Feeling stuck in survival mode and doing just the basics, instead of enjoying the process.

Alone

Tired of feeling alone on this homeschooling journey and want a support system.

And especially during the winter months when it’s so easy to fall into a slump of low energy, zero motivation and a whole lot of second-guessing.

And you say to yourself, “There has got to be a better way.”

You dream of a homeschool that feels more intentional and sustainable for your real life.

How would it feel to…
  • Feel confident in your homeschool decisions
  • Create rhythms that actually stick
  • Understand how your children learn best
  • Learn how to work with your children through their learning struggles
  • And, enjoy teaching your kids again
Well mama, this is exactly what you’ll
experience at The Simplified Homeschool Summit.

During this free virtual summit, you’ll learn how to work through difficult challenges, simplify your homeschool, refocus on what truly matters, and begin enjoying homeschooling again.


Join us for The Simplified Homeschool Summit, where you’ll learn from trusted homeschool educators, mentors, and mama-hearted experts who understand real-life homeschooling.

Here’s the thing— If you’ve attended homeschool events before, you know they’re full of valuable content and great ideas.

But they can also leave you feeling a little overwhelmed.

The simplified homeschool summit is NOT like that.

We’re not here to add more to your plate and workload.

Our heart is for you to be able to simplify what you learn so it feels doable, sustainable, and right for your family.

what past attendees are saying

about the simplified homeschool summit

  • I’m so glad that I found this summit! It is exactly what I needed.



  • I have learned a lot of information I plan to try to incorporate in my life and homeschool. This summit has changed my way of thinking and feeling I am failing my kids!
  • I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of all the wisdom offered here! But so far it has just been such an encouragement!

Cherelle German: Your go-to for simplifying eclectic homeschooling. Helping busy moms thrive at Embracing Homeschool.

Meet Your Hostess

Hey mama, I’m Cherelle German

With over 11 years of homeschooling experience (and growing), it has have given me a deep understanding of the joys and struggles that busy homeschool mom’s face.

I created The Simplified Homeschool Summit because I saw so many moms doing all the right things… yet still feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure.

This event was created from my heart to encourage homeschool moms, remind them they’re not alone, and help them simplify their journey in a way that feels supportive, doable, and life-giving.

Let’s get this summit party started, shall we?

Questions? I have answers!

Although this is a mostly faith-based summit, all are welcome to come and learn with us! This summit is thoughtfully designed with homeschool moms (in general) in mind because we know the unique challenges and joys that come with homeschooling. Every workshop, resource, and Q&A is tailored to support moms who are in the thick of homeschooling life. And yes, that may include Biblical encouragement as well. Take what you need, leave what you don’t. 🙂

To keep things running smoothly and avoid any technical hiccups, all the workshop presentations are pre-recorded and will be released on their scheduled day of the summit. This way, you can enjoy them without interruptions!

But don’t worry—there’s still plenty of live interaction! Each day of the summit, we’ll host a live Q&A session featuring some of our incredible speakers. They’ll join us on a live panel to chat, share insights, and answer your questions in real-time. It’s the perfect chance to connect and get even more out of your summit experience!

With the Free Pass, you’ll have 48 hours to watch each day’s workshops, starting at 12am PST. After 48 hours of the workshops going live, they will disappear.

On the flip side, upgrading to the Luxe Mama VIP Pass gives you the ultimate freedom. You’ll have unlimited access to all the workshops for an entire year, so you can watch (and re-watch) at your own pace. You will also have them in audio form to listen on the go.

Nope, your email address won’t be shared with all the contributors and speakers! The only person you’ll receive emails from is me—Cherelle German, from Embracing Homeschool and your host of The Simplified Homeschool Summit. I’ll be keeping you updated on all things summit-related, so you don’t miss a thing.

Now, about our amazing contributors: they’ve generously provided some incredible free resources for you to snag during the summit. If you choose to claim one of their gifts, you’ll be sharing your email address with that specific contributor in exchange for their freebie. It’s entirely optional, but trust me, their gifts are worth it!
