Rethinking Education: How HomeschoolToGo Is Empowering Families to Learn Without Limits

Education is evolving—and for many families, traditional school systems are no longer the only or best option. In a recent episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu sat down with Houlie Duque, founder and CEO of HomeschoolToGo, to explore how homeschooling can be simplified, structured, and deeply transformative for both parents and children.

Houlie’s journey into alternative education didn’t begin with entrepreneurship—it began in the classroom.

From Traditional Schools to a New Vision for Learning

With more than a decade of experience teaching in prestigious institutions, including Cambridge and Montessori schools, Houlie had a front-row seat to the strengths and shortcomings of conventional education. While these schools offered strong academic foundations, she noticed something troubling: many students weren’t reaching their full potential.

Creativity, curiosity, and individualized learning styles were often sacrificed for standardized testing and rigid structures. Over time, Houlie realized that education needed to adapt to the child—not the other way around.

That realization led to the creation of HomeschoolToGo, a bilingual (English and Spanish), holistic K–12 homeschooling program designed to support families across the Americas.

What Makes HomeschoolToGo Different?

One of the biggest misconceptions about homeschooling is that it’s overwhelming, unstructured, or isolating. Houlie is on a mission to change that narrative.

HomeschoolToGo offers a complete, guided framework that removes the guesswork for parents. The curriculum is built on project-based learning, which allows children to apply concepts in real-world contexts—boosting engagement, retention, and critical thinking.

Instead of memorizing information for exams, students learn by doing. This approach not only improves academic outcomes but also nurtures confidence, independence, and creativity.

Supporting Neurodivergent and ADHD Learners

During the conversation, Houlie and Deanna discussed how traditional school environments often fail neurodivergent students, including those with ADHD. Large classrooms, rigid schedules, and one-size-fits-all teaching methods can leave many children feeling misunderstood or labeled.

HomeschoolToGo focuses on identifying each child’s unique learning style and tailoring education accordingly. This individualized attention helps students thrive academically and emotionally, while reducing stress for both children and parents.

The Truth About Socialization and Structure

Another major concern parents often have about homeschooling is socialization. Houlie addressed this head-on, explaining that socialization isn’t about being surrounded by peers all day—it’s about meaningful interaction.

Homeschooling allows children to engage with people of all ages, develop real-life communication skills, and participate in community-based activities. Combined with flexible structure and intentional time management, students often gain more—not less—social confidence.

Why Parental Involvement Matters

Research consistently shows that parental involvement plays a critical role in a child’s cognitive and emotional development. Houlie highlighted studies demonstrating that when parents are actively engaged in learning, children perform better academically and develop stronger self-esteem.

HomeschoolToGo doesn’t place pressure on parents to become teachers overnight. Instead, it equips them with tools, guidance, and support—creating a collaborative learning environment that strengthens family bonds.

Navigating Regulations and Accreditation

One of the most intimidating aspects of homeschooling is understanding legal and academic requirements. Houlie shared how HomeschoolToGo helps families navigate regulations, create recognized transcripts, and ensure students stay on track for higher education opportunities.

She also shared a powerful real-world example: a family in Uruguay who successfully won a landmark court case using HomeschoolToGo’s curriculum—proving that structured homeschooling can stand up to scrutiny and deliver credible outcomes.
