Homeschooling in countries across the globe has been growing at a considerably rapid pace over the last decade. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has also influenced some parents to decide to embrace this particular educational method. However, despite the popularity of homeschooling, there remains a long list of myths and misconceptions surrounding home-based education. Replace Your School, a program designed to empower children with the tools and knowledge they need, is on a mission to shed light on the benefits of homeschooling and guide parents through its A to Zs.
Founded by Replace Your University CEO Michael Lush, Replace Your School operates under the recognition that parents can make no greater investment than in the education of their child and homeschooling provides the most flexible, personalized, and meaningful learning experience. It also acknowledges that while homeschooling is appealing, it cannot be denied that it comes with its fair share of struggles, especially in terms of navigating complex state laws, creating and developing a curriculum that can best accelerate children’s academic progress, planning lessons, and teaching one’s child. Additionally, parents have to contend with notions that homeschooled children are weird and socially inept.
The desire to respond to these challenges drove Michael Lush to expand the specializations of Replace Your University and go beyond promoting financial literacy. Through Replace Your School, he and his team aim to walk parents through the process of effectively homeschooling their children, providing them with sufficient education and support as they create a high-quality homeschool experience for their children.
Currently, Replace Your School boasts all-encompassing and comprehensive courses that cover critical elements of homeschooling. On top of the basics, it delves into creating lesson plans, employing effective teaching strategies, and implementing ways that align children’s learning experiences with family values.
At the heart of Replace Your School’s efforts is the vision of setting children up for future success. In maneuvering parents in the right direction and guiding them as they deliver an exceptional learning experience to their kids, the purpose-driven program banks on the expertise of Michael Lush, a known authority in the financial education industry.
Initially, Michael started a career in the mortgage sector, quickly rising through the ranks to become a Director of Operations in a high-profile company. In 2008, he faced a major hiccup when the 2008 financial crisis forced the company to close. A few months later, he was back on board and would learn many techniques and gain a deeper understanding of real estate financing. Eventually, he would capitalize on what he’s learned to establish a business and develop a course that revolves around educating consumers on effective ways to purchase or refinance their homes.
The all-out attitude that Michael has demonstrated toward providing tactical education that helps people create their desired lifestyle and build a career is also highly evident as he spearheads the efforts of Replace Your School. Under his leadership and with the passion of his team, the program is expected to emerge as a go-to resource for parents who need a hand in delivering effective and high-quality education for their children.
