The Montessori Homeschool Academy™
Where Parents Become Montessorians.
Not a curriculum. A method of becoming.
Montessori isn't something you set up for your child. I'ts something you live together. A complete framework that prepares you first - so Montessori can trhive in your home everyday, not just on good days.
Trusted By Families World Wide
You didn’t come to Montessori to recreate school at home. But you also didn’t come for chaos disguised as freedom
- You want your child to be independent… and yet you’re still micromanaging.
- You’ve filled the shelves — but something still feels off.
- You’re afraid you’re missing something foundational.
- The internet keeps telling you to “just buy a curriculum” — but you know better.
- Your days are still scattered, reactive, and draining.
You’re not failing. You just haven’t been prepared.
Montessori doesn’t begin with the materials. It begins with you.
- The prepared adult isn’t a poetic idea. It’s the key to the entire method.
- Once the guide is grounded, clear, and observant — everything else works. When the adult is overwhelmed, nothing does.
TMHA™ is the only Montessori homeschool program designed to prepare the adult in the real context of family life.
By the end of TMHA™, Montessori won’t be something you set up, It will be something you live together. You Will:
- Understand Montessori across the full 3–12 journey
- Create a home that supports concentration & autonomy
- Replace chaos with rhythm rooted in real values
- Observe with clarity and confidence
- Lead with trust — without losing structure
- Feel steady, prepared, and anchored in your role
“The resources are gold & pay themselves”
This is what people mean when they say that after the program, they realized it saved them years of learning through trial and error. The resources and what I've learned will be anchoring my homeschooling process even years from now. This makes me feel confident that I can do this long-term.

Why TMHA Exists
Most Montessori homeschool offerings make the same mistake:
- They underestimate the homeschooler by softening and oversimplifying Montessori to make it feel familiar while quietly traaditionalizing the method. They make you think you're doing Montessori while actually pulling you away from it.
- They hand you a curriculum and assume you are already prepared. They skip the prepared adult, overlook the developmental lens, and downplay the self-organization you actually need to guide a home environment.
- They expect you to train for years before you can even begin to learn how to apply it. But school training isn't homeschol training.
- They focus on just one plane of development. But at home, you guide children across multiple planes.
You don’t have that kind of time. And you don’t need it.
You need the Montessori Method, not a slice of it — adapted for the home, grounded in real child development, and supported by a framework that honors both structure and freedom.
Why TMHA™ Works
TMHA™ is not:
- Pinterest Montessori
- A collection of printables
- A 3-year teacher training
- A curriculum-first approach
- A “just follow the child” fantasy
- A school-replication checklist
- A generic parenting course
- Focused on one particular age group
TMHA™ is:
- A structured, developmentally-rooted system
- Training for the prepared adult
- A method that works outside the classroom
- A framework that supports mixed ages
- A bridge between Montessori science and home reality
- A path you can actually follow and sustain
- An adult preparation program where homeschoolers learn how the method works and how to implement it across multiple age groups

- It’s for families at the crossroads.
- You know Montessori is more than something you “set up.”
- You’re ready to stop wasting time, stop wasting money, and stop performing a method you want to embody.
- TMHA™ is the investment you make when you’re done missing developmental windows and gambling with your child’s education.
- When you’re ready to guide with clarity, confidence, and truth — not trial-and-error.

[00:00:01.018] Hi, my name is Alex.
[00:00:02.238] I’m a homeschool mom of two.
[00:00:03.739] I have a five-year-old and two-and-a-half-year-old girls, almost three, so I’ll be homeschooling both with the Montessori Method.
[00:00:11.481] We’ve been homeschooling my oldest since she was three in 2020 when we pulled her out of a public Montessori school and decided to take our homeschool journey.
[00:00:20.303] I had taken all the courses, read all the things, purchased a curriculum, and thought that I was good to go,
[00:00:30.305] But we were kind of in this space where we didn’t have a dedicated learning space.
[00:00:37.490] I just assumed that a work period, that three hour work cycle was just if I was involving them in the kitchen and not interrupting and not shuttling them here and there and just have dedicated three hours.
[00:00:51.440] But after taking Linda’s course, I would say the biggest thing for me is really being intentional about
[00:00:59.474] having that time when we can be present.
[00:01:02.315] And I found that what I was doing was because I was having to be on all the time was that I was just giving myself space to say, well, they’re working and I want to interrupt them so I can take a minute to myself.
[00:01:17.003] And really the biggest thing was the first few sessions are about observation of the self.
[00:01:23.366] So really buckling down and seeing, you know, being introspective and looking at yourself and taking a moment
[00:01:30.297] to do nothing and I didn’t realize how much I needed that and how much I wasn’t getting the time to focus to myself and it really made you realize your kids deserve that too.
[00:01:41.445] They deserve a dedicated space and a dedicated time to be able to have those opportunities to get those lessons and even though you’re learning
[00:01:50.484] all day, all the time, whether they’re climbing at the playground or working in the kitchen, they do deserve that dedicated time and so do you.
[00:01:58.433] So I really value Linda’s advice on that and all the rest of the nuggets throughout the program, definitely highly recommend.
Transcript
[00:00:00.049] Hello, my name is Yvette Montes and I am a mom, stay at home mom of a soon to be three year old daughter and soon to be five year old son.
[00:00:10.416] And I started homeschooling close to about a year.
[00:00:15.519] However, I was feeling very overwhelmed in terms of how to apply.
[00:00:20.077] the method, how to follow my child, setting up the shelves and all the long lists of do it yourselves.
[00:00:25.661] Like I wasn’t sleeping or ready when, when it was time to have our, um, session or our, you know, um, homeschooling time.
[00:00:36.249] And so, um, I reached out to Linda, um, immediately I was just blown away by the first few sessions and, and,
[00:00:45.620] She has really guided me in terms of areas that I need to work in, in guiding me towards the future of where I’m heading and how to guide my kids in terms of their development and also where to invest my time and my money.
[00:01:05.391.0000000000073] So she is passionate.
[00:01:08.012] She keeps it real, keeps you on your toes in terms of really tough times.
[00:01:16.263] conversations that we need to have, things that we need to accept on ourselves for improvement.
[00:01:22.126] So I do very much recommend her course for anyone who is needing or planning to homeschool in the long run and even short time.
[00:01:33.031] Thank you, Linda.

Testimonials
Real Stories From Real Parents
“TMHA with @lyndaapostol changed everything.”
When I first started homeschooling, our days were messy. I didn’t know how to create a rhythm, my kids weren’t really engaged, and I constantly felt like I was FAILING at everything I tried. And the reason I’m more grounded and confident now isn’t because I magically figured it all out, it’s because I INVESTED in learning how to do this well. I learned how to:
-structure our days in a way that flows naturally
-encourage independence without feeling like I’m losing control
-how to make learning feel joyful instead of forced
AND SO MUCH MORE

“Wow! to your quality of work & to this experience”
“Without a doubt, it adds much, much more value to have taken your coaching than to not have done it and only taken the certification. I mean, really. I’m so very grateful. Wow to your quality of work and to this experience!”
Sarahi Paz

“What I learned would’ve taken me years to figure out”
“This experience was very thorough and complete. Had I known all that you offer, I would’ve never hesitated to sign up…honestly, now I think it’s inexpensive. What I learned would’ve taken me years to figure out. Not only that, but the confidence and clarity I’ve gained is priceless. I cannot thank you enough!”
Nidia G
“THANK YOU cannot capture it enough...our family every day has been transformed...”
“I feel so much lighter since everything is in order and so much more prepared to learn with the kiddos. I now have more mental/emotional space to be a better mother and teacher for them.”

@classymusings
TMHA™ is not for families looking for shortcuts. It is for parents who:
- Want to honor the child’s developmental windows
- Refuse to dilute Montessori into aesthetics
- Don’t have 3–5 years to “figure it out” alone
- Desire depth, fidelity, and clarity
- Believe in doing this well — not just doing it
Montessori works, but only when the adult is prepared.
You need the part no one teaches. If you’re ready to stop collecting information and start embodying the method — to stop performing Montessori and start living it — If you're done piecing Montessori together from reels, blogs, and conflicting advice....
If you're ready for clarity, confidence, and developmental truth… Then you’re ready for TMHA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is TMHA™?
TMHA™ is a complete Montessori homeschool framework that teaches you how to prepare yourself, your rhythm, and your home so you can guide learning with clarity, confidence, and developmental precision.
This isn’t a curriculum or a beginner’s course. It’s the foundational systems, mindset, and unseen work that turn Montessori from something you “set up” into something you live.
Do I need Montessori experience before joining TMHA™?
You don’t need formal training, but you do need a basic understanding of Montessori principles. If you’re still exploring your options or still trying to understand what Montessori actually is, my Book “The Montessori Homeschooler: A Practical Guide to Getting Started” is your first step.
What if I haven’t started homeschooling yet?
If you haven’t started at all — especially if you don’t yet have anything to observe — begin with Kickstart or my book “The Montessori Homeschooler: A Practical Guide to Gettang Started“.
These resources give you Montessori 101 + Homeschool 101, clear out misinformation, and help you set up the foundations so you can see your child through a Montessori lens.
Authentic Montessori begins with observation and that’s where TMHA™ begins.
Start with an introductory resource to get you going, then join TMHA™ when you’re ready for deeper work. Montessori is a practice that takes time, curiosity, and intention to learn. There’s no such thing as beginning with everything figured out — that’s not how human development works, and it’s not how Montessori works.
But you can dramatically shorten your learning curve with intentionality and expert guidance, without wasting time, money, or missing your child’s developmental windows
How is TMHA™ different from other Montessori homeschool programs?
Most programs hand you:
• a curriculum,
• video demos,
• checklists, or
• a single-plane approach.
TMHA™ is different because it focuses on you — the prepared adult — and the realities of homeschooling and parenting children across planes of development while keeping your sanity in tact, tending to household responsibilities, and maintaining self-identity (albeit running a business, working from home, or being the family manager).
This is Montessori lived, not performed.
What kind of support is available
TMHA Basic is fully self-paced and includes the complete framework, planning tools, and lifetime access.
TMHA Premium adds:
• Weekly live group Montessori clinics for Direct Q&A with Lynda.
• Homework feedback
• A private supportive community to tap into at anytime without getting lost in the sea of Facebook group opinions.
As a TMHA™ learner, you also have access to TMT Advisory and Advisory with Juli.
Advisory is a high-touch, 60-minute 1:1 virtual session you can book as a single session or as a package whenever you need personalized, context-driven support.
Please note: Advisory is exclusively available to TMHA™ learners. We do not offer one-off consultations outside the program.
For Full 1:1 Experience, please apply to our BeSpoke Program.
What are the weekly clinics, and how do they work?
These are live group sessions designed to foster community and provide targeted support. You can bring questions about:
• curriculum
• planning challenges
• rhythm
• observations
• environment issues
• lesson balance
• developmental concerns
• or any topic that would benefit the group
Clinics give you real-time guidance so you don’t fall into trial-and-error Montessori.
Lifetime access to Clinics is included only in TMHA™ Premium and is not sold separately.
Because Clinics are meant to support developmental guidance (not basic setup), access becomes available after you complete the Foundations modules, ensuring you enter the space prepared and grounded in the framework.
How long do I have access to TMHA™?
Lifetime access — so you can revisit the framework as your children move through different planes of development.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. I can usually work with most budgets by offering 12 month payment plans, with a 10% deposit, for committed families.
What if I get stuck or fall behind?
TMHA™ is fully self-paced, so there’s no “behind.” You move through the framework at the rhythm that works for your family, and you can revisit the modules anytime.
If you join TMHA Premium, we actively support your progress during your first year. You’ll receive gentle check-ins, feedback on your homework, and ongoing accountability through the weekly clinics and community support. Most parents choose Premium for this exact reason — it keeps you moving and prevents you from stalling.
If you’re someone who needs deeper accountability, likes to talk things through, or learns best through conversation, you may want to explore the Bespoke Program for more direct, ongoing 1:1 guidance.
Can I get personalized, one-on-one guidance?
Yes —
TMHA Premium includes individualized feedback on homework assignments and gentle check ins in your first year of learning.
If you want deeper personalized coaching, you can apply for Bespoke Coaching.
“I’ve been in TMHA for nearly three years, and it has completely changed my life.”
The guidance, structure, and support have transformed the way I approach homeschooling. My 7-year-old has thrived because of what I’ve learned, and now my 2-year-old is joining in our work cycle with so much excitement and confidence. TMHA has truly become the foundation of our homeschool journey, and I’m so grateful for the clarity and peace it’s brought into our home.
