Our Amazing Team

Husband & Wife Founders who help run and manage the behind-the-scenes operations + awesome teaching staff + community field experts to help guide the students!

Founder + Director + Teacher

This school has been a dream of mine for more than 8 years. I am a semi-retired professional photographer, homeschooling mom to 3, and I’m passionate about alternative education. I never stop researching, and my goal as a Director and Teacher is to show students that learning is LIFE, and it never stops, even when you’re older! I also like long walks on the beach…for real.

Teacher

Hello! I’m a former elementary school teacher with a passion for hands-on learning and igniting curiosity in my students. As a homeschooling mom to three, I love creating fun and engaging experiences that inspire a love of learning. I’m excited to be back “in the classroom”, where I aim to foster an interactive environment that encourages exploration and creativity!

Teacher

I’m a homeschool mom who believes in relaxed, child-led learning that nurtures curiosity and confidence. As a former nanny and military wife, I’ve learned to be flexible, patient, and creative – especially while balancing the unique rhythms of family life. I love to read, enjoy a good cup of coffee, and soak up sunshine whenever I can.

Book Club + Shakespeare Teacher

In 20 years of homeschooling six kids, I’ve graduated four and sent them to college, taught Shakespeare, directed and produced seven plays, taught music in many settings and varieties, and led homeschool book clubs. I love teaching kids of all ages and find magic in every stage. In my free time (ha!), I love to read and go on walks, sometimes at the same time.
