Hello families, My name is Anna Hash, and I’ve been part of the homeschool world for over 12 years. My husband, Drew, and I have seven children, ages 16-2. Our family attends The Gathering Church in Crane, and our faith plays an important role in how we approach both life and learning. I truly enjoy working with children and coming alongside parents to support their academic growth. I’m excited to be part of this co-op and look forward to helping students learn, grow, and thrive.

Hi, I’m Chantel! Welcome to The Gathering Academy Co-Op, I am a pastor’s wife, and a mom to three amazing kids & a teacher at heart. We’ve homeschooled on and off for several years, and along the way I’ve learned one very important thing: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education. I’m deeply passionate about creating spaces where kids feel seen, safe, and loved—where creativity is messy, and learning feels like an adventure, not a checklist. I believe every child should walk into a room and feel like the most important person there. My heart is to help children grow in confidence, character, and faith while still getting to be kids. I believe in cheering kids on as they discover what they’re capable of. The Gathering Academy was created by so many prayers, vision from God, and out of a desire to blend strong values, meaningful relationships, and practical learning—and I’m so excited to walk this journey alongside your family.
