Welcome to Raising A to Z - A Place Where We Talk About All Things Homeschooling!

Welcome!

My name is Amanda Ostrander, a teacher-turned-homeschool mom  and this is Raising A to Z, a place where we talk about all things homeschooling.

​

My goal: to help parents find simplicity and joy along their homeschooling journey.

From curriculum, to resources, to tips and tricks, we talk about it all on my very popular YouTube channel, Raising A to Z.

​

After my experience in both the public and private school, I chose to take my teaching experience and educational background and homeschool my own kids.

Being OG homeschoolers, we've been homeschooling since 2018. Despite being teachers (hubby's a teacher too!) our 2 kids have never been to school and are thriving as homeschooled kids.

​​​​​

I'm not only a homeschool mom, I'm also a busy volunteer and business woman. I'm an active leader in our homeschool community, helping plan events and field trips for homeschoolers in our area. I also run a children choir at my local church.

And I run 2 small businesses: Raising A to Z and True North History!

​

When I'm not working or homeschooling, I do love gardening, embroidery, and reading. I'm an avid baker with a sweet tooth and a love of chocolate. And you can often find me walking our dog Mack or playing a board game with my daughters, Alexie and Zoe.
