Ep 387: From Library Meetings to Leading Logos Homeschool Academy: How Jennifer Pinto Built a Homeschool Hybrid in Iowa with Faith and Microschool Masterminds

What does it look like to step out of traditional education and wait on God’s timing to build something completely new?

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Jennifer Pinto, co-founder of Logos Homeschool Academy in Iowa. After leaving traditional schooling in 2023, Jennifer connected with a like-minded friend—whom she met in the library—and together they launched a homeschool hybrid program rooted in faith, family, and freedom.

With a deep conviction and a clear understanding of Iowa’s homeschool laws, Jennifer and her partner were able to form their LLC and bring their vision to life. But it wasn’t an easy road—Jennifer shares how “knowing her why” carried her through trials and tribulations, keeping her focused on her calling.

As an incredible contributor in our Microschool Masterminds community, Jennifer has embraced coaching, mentorship, and collaboration. From one-on-one coaching to ongoing membership support, she has even budgeted professional development into her monthly finances—a true testament to her dedication to growth, leadership, and sustainability.

Jennifer’s story will inspire you if you’ve ever asked:

• How do I start a microschool or homeschool hybrid when I don’t know where to begin?

• What role does faith play when the road feels uncertain?

• Where can I find a community to walk with me through trials and victories?

Her journey is one of shepherding her calling, waiting on God’s timing, and persevering through seasons of challenge.

✨ Press play to hear Jennifer’s testimony of courage, conviction, and clarity—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you grow your own vision into reality.
