GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Homeschool Academy Australia was founded by Lydia Denker, a single mother concerned about her child's education during the lockdown period. Making the hard decision to homeschool her son permanently she didn't want to fail him or hinder him in any way. Trying to find the type of assistance that she felt would suit her lifestyle was impossible. There was a gap in the market for families like herself… Families who never considered homeschooling but now feel that homeschooling would be the best way forward and for families who need more support and structure. Lydia decided to take matters into her own hands and created an online learning facility for homeschooling families. Lydia Denker is a Singer Songwriter who was signed to Sony/BMG for 10 years. She released a few singles and competed on Australian Idol top 24 but quit the music industry after realising what an ugly and painful industry it is. She chose to use her voice for God. To worship and bring Jesus to people. She started a ministry called Crazy Faith Street Worship teaming up with incredible musicians and evangelists to bring church to the streets, introducing people of Melbourne to Jesus! Lydia is founder of Homeschool Academy Australia an online learning facility for homeschooling families who need and want an alternative to mainstream schooling.
