112. Scott Holloway: Carpenter, Pastor, Homeschool Dad

In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Scott Holloway from Saskatchewan. Scott is a pastor, carpenter, and homeschooling father of ten children ranging from 8 months to 21 years old. Scott’s first exposure to homeschooling came as a high school student when his parents made the decision to start homeschooling during a teacher strike. He never went back, and he and his wife have homeschooled their children from the beginning to the present. Scott reflects on the flexibility, individualized pace, and freedom from negative school experiences that made homeschooling a positive choice. As a parent, Scott and his wife have embraced a classical education model, tailoring curriculum to each child’s needs and interests. As a pastor and independent carpenter, Scott discusses the challenges and blessings of managing work, ministry, and a large family.
