She Left Public School to Build a One-Room Schoolhouse

After 24 years in public education, Trudy Wishrop was burned out, overwhelmed… and deeply convicted. God was calling her to something radical. So she said yes.

In this episode of WISE and Otherwise, Trudy shares the incredible journey behind Armor Academy—a micro-school she launched in the upstairs of her home, with dreams of eventually moving into a 100-year-old one-room schoolhouse… which she literally had moved to her property.

📘 In this episode:
– How COVID revealed a vision—and ignited a calling
– What it was like to leave a secure paycheck and take a leap of faith
– Why she never saw herself homeschooling (and how that changed)
– The simple rhythms of Armor Academy’s day-to-day life
– What surprised her most about running a small school
– How local churches and parents came alongside her vision

This is more than a feel-good story—it’s a roadmap for any educator or parent wondering: “Is there something more?”
