Courtney Doncevic: President
Courtney is a Bucks County native, graduating from Palisades High School. After high school, Courtney went to college in Virginia and graduated from Liberty University studying Family and Consumer Sciences with an Interior Design concentration. After having the opportunity to work for many different types of businesses in the design field (as well as banking, randomly), Courtney was blessed by her friends with a part-time job at their small business, which would ultimately give her the freedom and flexibility to be able to home school when the time came.
After college, Courtney married her high school sweetheart, Steve and they have 3 boys…2 of which are currently at PHA! Courtney and her husband never considered home-schooling as an educational option until a friend encouraged them to look into it when their oldest son, Stephen, was still a baby. Once she started doing the research, it didn't take long for them to decide home-schooling was the way to go. She was eventually introduced to PHA and then Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education and the rest is history!! She started home-schooling with PHA when Stephen was in K and pray that they will be able to continue faithfully attending for many more years.
Courtney’s favorite color is purple (which you’ll most likely always find something purple on her), and she loves listening to podcasts, being out of doors, reading, gardening, drinking too much coffee, working on some house project and spending time with her family. Courtney is thankful for the opportunity to be a board member for PHA and looks forward to seeing how God continues to bless the school and watch it grow.
