Mandy Davis is the founder of Homebuilt Education, creator of the Homeschool Hub app, and author of several books—including her upcoming title, “The Homeschool Bible.” If anyone has gotten comfortable navigating the realm of homeschooling, it is Ms. Davis.

But she did not start out this way. Instead, she spent the first 15 years of her career in standard education, first as a teacher in public and private schools and later as the principal of a private school. Then, in 2022, she decided to forego the conventional school route in favor of homeschooling her children. Her business has grown alongside her kids.
