• The Way of the Salmon - Revive Academy Ramps Up on the Kenai Peninsula

  After a visit to the Great Land a few years ago, Cat Cushway, her husband and her parents, all from Michigan, felt the pull to make Alaska their home. Settling in Homer, Cat, now with 2 young toddlers, started feeling another tug, this time from God about the impact she should have in Homer with the strengths and passions she had been blessed with.With an extensive background in education, Cat knew it was going to be something related to schooling but when her husband said, "Go for it. Why don't you start a school? Our community needs it. Our kids need it.", she was overwhelmed. That is no small task when you're in the middle of changing diapers and managing a household.But God started giving her reassurances. Things just began falling in place.Today, I'm privileged to chat with Cat about the establishment of yet another school option opening up in Alaska. Revive Academy, proudly affiliated with the Charlie Kirk's TurningPoint Education, is enrolling students now for a September 2026 launch.More than 10% of Homer's K-8th grade public school students have signed up. And that number is growing. Mic drop.I hope you can tune in for the good news.Support the show

• Top Private School in Alaska Leader on the Show Today - Holy Rosary Academy

  Voted #1 as the best private school on many different levels, Holy Rosary Academy in Anchorage is a beacon of hope, excellence and virtue.I'm thrilled to get to visit today with Principal Marie-Louise Schirda about the role of classical education and why it is needed more today than ever before. From the HRA website, Marie-Louise is "rooted in Alaskan soil, not only by virtue of her family's work as the state's largest producer of farm-to-table produce, but also in her long-term commitment to delivering a classical K-12 curriculum in the Catholic tradition to Holy Rosary Academy students.Mrs. Schirda adventured around the globe to achieve her distinctly Catholic education. She attended high school at Trivium School in Massachusetts and then graduated from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire. While at Thomas More, she spent one semester in Rome, steeped in the art and architecture of many magnificent Catholic churches, backdropped by the grandeur and beauty of the ancient ruins.She earned her master's degree in Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama from University College Dublin, Ireland, and came back to the States to attend Gonzaga University, where she completed her state licensure to teach.
