Elizabeth is a mother of six children, each with unique perspectives and learning needs. Having navigated a spectrum of challenges—from hearing loss to Autism—she deeply understands that “the struggle is real” and has dedicated herself to adapting her approach to meet each child’s mindset.

Since transitioning to homeschooling five years ago following the COVID-19 pandemic, Elizabeth has successfully graduated one child and is currently preparing her second for graduation, while her youngest is in elementary school.

Elizabeth’s involvement with the local homeschooling community began two years ago when she stepped in to digitize student records. She quickly became an essential part of the team, staying on as Secretary. Previously, she served the Arundel homeschool group on both the Graduation and Science Fair committees. To ensure students didn’t lose out on vital learning opportunities, she eventually took over the leadership of the Science Fair. With three children having participated in dual enrollment, Elizabeth is well versed on the Arundel Community College program and the various college accommodation resources available to students. She is always the first to offer a helping hand to families navigating these paths.

She is well-versed in the dual enrollment ECAP program at Anne Arundel Community College (AACC), with all three of her sons having taken part. For more than half of her homeschooling journey, Jennifer has served on various homeschool boards, reflecting her deep commitment to giving back to the community. She is passionate about mentoring and guiding other families, sharing her experience and encouragement along the way.

Jennifer is truly grateful for the opportunities homeschooling has provided her family and looks forward to continuing this journey while supporting and uplifting others.

Having served on the Cornerstone Tutorial Board for six years, Jeanette is now a key part of the CCA leadership team. Through her own family’s journey, she has mastered the ins and outs of the college transition; having successfully dual-enrolled four of her children at Anne Arundel Community College (AACC), she is always happy to answer questions and guide other parents through the same process. Jeanette knows that the high school years can feel overwhelming at first, and she is always available to help families navigate the paperwork and the path ahead.

Deborah Mackall and her husband have homeschooled 7 children. The youngest just turned 18 and graduates home school high school May 2026. At the same time Deborah is taking on a well deserved retirement. Homeschooling since 1991, (and you can do the math!) Deborah explored the varied genres of homeschooling from unschooling to classical, hitting most squarely in the ‘eclectic camp.’ She was part of varied homeschool groups that ran meetings, provided fun events, wrote and edited a print newsletter [so last century!]l organized Fairs [Curriculum, Science, Arts, and History for example], and set up small co-ops, preferring to teach art and history to small groups. In CCA, Deborah especially enjoyed helping high schoolers reach their potential by navigating the transcript and graduation process in an individual way.
