Cynthia Simunovich is a wife, mother of six homeschooled children, grandma to three adorable little ones, and the Director of Branson Academy. I received a B.A. in Theater Arts from UCSC and have over twenty years teaching experience in music and early education. In the last sixteen years, with the fantastic support of family and friends, Branson Academy has grown from a handful of students to helping hundreds of families!
It's been an exciting journey! Our family began homeschooling in the '80's as one of the early pioneer homeschooling families in California -- although we didn't recognize the distinction back then! In 1996 we filed our first R-4 (also known as the private school affidavit) and officially began home schooling as Branson Academy.
