Learnwell Collective began in 2017 as a way to support families who found themselves homeschooling for the first time. Many of these families were serving overseas and had no other option.

Because of Dr. Shipman’s background as an educational consultant in the missions world, she and her husband, Randy Shipman, knew that there was a need and that God had uniquely wired them to find a solution.

Since then, Learnwell Collective has grown to support families all over the world and within the United States as they receive personalized coaching from certified teachers, lesson plans, and a community of others who are journeying in the same schooling methods.

Learnwell North Georgia launched in the 2021-22 school year. It is a hybrid school for families in the North Georgia area who want their children to have the best of both worlds: classroom time with Learnwell‘s amazing teachers and at-home time with a tutor, grandparent, or parent. So the hybrid school was born to meet another need!

We would love for you to get to know Dr. Melissa Shipman in a little more personal way, so she has recorded some of her favorites in a short video.
