Self-Directed Success

Who are we?

Self-Directed Success is a revolutionary online homeschooling support program that requires just 2 hours of parent involvement per week. Our program empowers teenagers to take ownership of their education, develop valuable skills, and learn at their own pace with the freedom to select their own courses and learning resources.

What do we do?

Our approach helps teens become successful self-directed learners and supports parents in homeschooling with minimal time investment while ensuring the student's academic success and personal growth. While we don't provide curriculum directly, we can offer valuable recommendations for suitable curricula that align with the student's learning objectives and educational needs.

Whom do we serve?

Our program is designed to benefit both teens and their busy parents. The program is specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of teenagers who may not thrive in traditional classroom settings or who need more flexibility in their learning schedule, as well as their working parents who want to homeschool their teens but may not have much time to devote to planning and teaching.

Could You Really Homeschool?

You're one busy mom, juggling countless responsibilities. The thought of taking on the daunting task of homeschooling your teenager on top of everything else seems impossible, right?

 

I mean, let's face it:

  • Time is not on your side.

  • Patience can wear thin, especially when it comes to teaching.

  • You're not a professional educator.

  • The whole homeschooling landscape is a mystery to you. What about the laws? Which curriculum should you use? Where do you even begin?

Just thinking about it ties your stomach in knots.

But what if I told you there's a simple, yet surprisingly overlooked solution? A solution that could turn homeschooling your teen into a breeze.

Think about all the struggles your teenager faces in traditional school - the bullying, the piles of mindless homework, the overwhelming pressure of grades and high-stakes tests, the negative influences, and the lack of compassion and kindness. All these things push your child to seek solace in distractions like video games, YouTube, or getting caught up in social media drama. No wonder they're not interested in learning or exploring their career aspirations. They're stuck in survival mode, fueled by apathy.

I know how it is.  I’ve been in the trenches with teenagers, including two of my own, for over 7 years now.  Back in 2017, my co-founder and I launched Inspired Learning Academy, a micro-school for homeschooling, serving middle and high school students in our local community.  I’ve listened to  countless stories from parents and teens about what led them to our school.  Our goal from the beginning was to empower students, give them student agency, and offer connection and support through 1-on-1 mentoring. And guess what? It actually worked.

 

Through years of carefully observing teen behavior and searching for effective solutions to set them up for success, I've developed key structures that have had a profound impact on boosting teens' self-esteem and fostering a genuine interest in meaningful learning. It's incredible to witness the transformation as teens, who were initially unable or unwilling to tackle even the simplest tasks, shift gears and go all out to prepare for Presentation Night. The results have been truly inspiring, as reflected in numerous testimonials we've received from those who experienced remarkable turnarounds. Take a look at this one as an example..

Dianne M.

“Our son is growing into a man and feels more self-confident at ILA as he is able to make more decisions for himself... At his prior school, he saw college as a continuation of his pain and suffering and wanted nothing to do with it. At ILA, it is a means for fulfilling his ambitions and he is preparing himself for the task.”

Now, I'm thrilled to expand the reach of this success formula and assist more families in creating the optimal educational environment for their teenagers right within the cozy confines of their own home. I understand that homeschooling can be intimidating for many, but fear not! With the right tools and guidance, you can confidently navigate this journey and provide your teen with an exceptional education.

Just picture this: your teen wakes up feeling completely refreshed after a restful night's sleep. They have a flexible, yet structured plan for the day that they dive into independently. There's no rushing, no nagging, no constant reminders, and definitely no power struggles. They're in their own zone, confidently working on their tasks.

When it's time for a lunch break, you both get to sit down together and enjoy a pleasant conversation about the birds chirping in the yard or the interesting things that happened earlier in the day. After the break, it's back to work for both of you, each tackling your respective tasks.

At the end of the week, your teen shares with you a summary of what they've learned and the progress they've made. Later that evening, over dinner, you review it together, expressing how proud you are of their accomplishments and the exciting path they're on.

Just imagine the sense of fulfillment and connection that comes from creating this harmonious educational journey with your teen, where they flourish and you actively participate in their growth. It's a remarkable experience that will leave you both inspired and proud.

This is how your life with your teen can be transformed by following a simple formula...

The Self-Directed Success Formula

Mindset + skills training + accountability = success!

Let's break this formula down...

mindset

Your teen's mindset is crucial. Even if you have the best educational plan, the finest curriculum, and the most flexible schedule in the world, it all amounts to nothing if your teen doesn't have the right mindset.

Organizing the Calendar

skills training

The skills necessary for success in school and in life are often overlooked within traditional education systems. Students are rarely taught how to plan, organize, and manage their time effectively, or how to explore various options that lead to success. 

Instead of spending your valuable time evaluating curriculum, preparing lesson plans, and setting up learning schedules that could easily be rejected by your teen in a heartbeat, we'll guide your teen through the process. This empowers them to take ownership of their own education and learn the invaluable skill of responsibility.

Life coaching

accountability

If you find yourself thinking, "That's a lot to expect from my teen" or "I'm not sure if my teen will do a good job," here's where the third key of the formula comes into play: accountability. The best part is that you don't have to shoulder this responsibility alone. Our Self-Directed Success Coaches are here to lend a helping hand. They are effective precisely because they are not mom or dad. These specially trained coaches know just the right questions to ask your teen, ensuring they have a comprehensive education plan that they are genuinely excited about!
