Meet our staff

I  started my education career as a teacher assistant in 2001, and became a certified teacher in 2011. I  have worked in many educational settings which would include, non-profit school, public school as well as Classical Christian school. I have also worked with students from grade K - 12th grade, within the general education classroom as well as the special education classroom.  I have a daughter who had prayed during her entire 7th grade year to be homeschooled for her 8th grade year and until she graduates. So, after a lot of prayer myself and discussing this idea with my husband, I resigned from the public school and came home to homeschool my daughter.  I also started a part time tutoring business to help bring in some income. It was during that year of homeschooling and tutoring that I had noticed a need for a micro school. A school that would allow children to learn in the way they were created to learn. The Lord brought Caitlin into my life in the fall of 2022 and we soon formed a plan to launch Logos Homeschool Academy. To God be the glory, we have had a successful first year start. 

Caitlin Hodnefield was homeschooled K-12th grade and graduated from Ellsworth Community College with an AA in Equine Science and then went on to Iowa State University to receive a B.A. in Animal Science. God, horses, and hunting are her main hobbies! She also loves reading and is currently writing clean fantasy books for young adults.  Caitlin has held a variety of jobs over the years allowing her experience in many different arenas. She has worked at several different Bible camps as a wrangler and year round staff taking care of the horses. She holds a judges card for judging open horse shows in Iowa and enjoys judging shows every summer.

Caitlin also spent several years as a librarian at her local library. She was the teen/tween coordinator, planning and running programs for the kids year round. She also teaches as an adjunct at Ellsworth Community College for their Equine program. Caitlin gives riding lessons on the side and helps run a writing group for homeschool families. 

She has spoken about her writing and how to become an author at various places over the last few years. Caitlin enjoys all things science and literary. Her and her husband love to spend time together hunting and hiking. 

For 17 years, Annie has been homeschooling her children, guiding them on their educational journeys and fostering their growth. Watching three of her children graduate and embark on their next chapters has been one of her greatest joys. Now, she is blessed to experience the joy of being a grandmother to her first granddaughter. 

As a wife and mother of six, family is the foundation of Annie's life. Her faith is at the core of everything she does, and she is deeply involved in her church community. Through her faith, she approaches eery aspect of life - from homeschooling and raising her children to supporting others in her circle. 

With a background as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, Annie is equipped to hlep her family and others navigate life's challenges. Whether as a mom, a homeschool teacher, or a member of her church, Annie is passionate about creating an environment where everyone can thrive and grow in faith and love.
