MEET ANNA: THE AUSTRALIAN HOMESCHOOL CONSULTANT
I'm Anna Whan: a Kingdom-builder, Patrick’s cherished wife, the founder of Sovereign House Press, and a homeschooling mother of many, based in rural NSW.
My work is grounded in child wellbeing, character formation, and meaningful academic progress, balanced with long-term family goals and lifestyle design. I believe education should serve both the flourishing of the child and the coherence of family life.
But you know, I wasn't always who I am today 🥹
A long time ago, I was a street kid living in violence; consumed by darkness. A long time ago, I was a single mum with three kids moving states and moving house multiple times. I fought court battles and butted-heads with moderators in order to freely homeschool and have the wins that I have today.
I'm not your aesthetic influencer. I'm the real deal.
🤍 If you want to know who I really am, this newsletter is where you'll find me. Sign up today... I promise you won't feel alone and misunderstood in your parenting journey around here.
Seeing Anna parent through instability, navigate three state registration systems, deal directly with education departments, question her own decisions, adapt schooling to different seasons, travel, remarry, experience serious illness, and keep refining what she believes education should accomplish, changed the way I thought about homeschooling completely. I've never read anything like this before. Her story is remarkable.
