Meadhbh, mother to three girls. All unschooled until eldest started in transition year aged 15 and a half. She completed her Leaving Cert and has just finished a four year degree (Digital Humanities) in UCC. My second daughter also began school in transition year and completed the Leaving Cert. She is going into 2nd yr of Social Science in UCC. My youngest daughter chose to go to school at 12 and is now in secondary school (aged 16).I was a primary teacher for over 10 years and I have also had experience teaching at 2nd and 3rd level. I have a masters in education from UCC. However I believe parents are best placed to educate their children and do not need any qualifications in education.

Galway

Representative: Marta Dorigo Salamon meleusina@yahoo.it

I have been unschooling my daughter – born in 2012 – from the start for a mixture of reasons. We moved to Ireland from Italy in December 2018 and we joined HEN immediately. I am an intuitive healer, but currently my days are happily filled mostly with motherhood and unschooling.

Representative: Sarah Mc Loughlin 085 7192511 / sarahmc92@hotmail.com

I have been unschooling my boys for nearly 4 years now in beautiful Connemara. As a wellness coach I’m conscious of finding ways to make things work and I bring that to our homeschooling experience whenever I can. I’m also a second level teacher so I have experience of both sides of the education system.
